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 own 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…at least once
sit on a park bench and talk with a lonely stranger
say these words daily
as if they actually mattered to you
thank you……..please….and I love you
Draw your own lines carefully in the sand
then 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
When you feel you are in the least danger
be truly aware for it is at that second danger draws near to you
dance and sing your heart out every single day
live….just live as large as you can
remember the Alamo
Irish
