Old Chinese Sayings

There are no guarantees in life save one…and none of us certainly not me and possibly not you no one can outrun the call of their destiny once upon a time is a saying created only by the lawyers Don’t rely on fortune cookies as the reason to quit your job Eat spicy Chinese food out of a carton ……with chopsticks...more often sitting on a park bench talking with a stranger say these words daily thank you……..please….and I love you as if they actually mattered to you Draw your own lines carefully in the sand and defend them with all that you are Drink hot coffee from a bowl hold onto the one you love with both hands whatever you do in life do it with intense passion never do what your enemy expects you to do...ever live well …love better Dance and sing your heart out every single day Live….just live as large as you can Remember the Alamo Irish
