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
