The Secrets

  Here they are for the the world to use.  Good luck with them and if they work for you I only require either 5% of what you make from them.  Or that you name you first born child after me.  enjoy and learn.

    Idea #1: One of the biggest kept secrets is something that I read on a bumper sticker or t-shirt somewhere. KEEP smiling.  it makes them wonder what you are  up to.   This is the one people. It makes everything easier to handle.

Situation One: Your boss says you  have to stay late for work and your kid has a ball game. Smile at him. Now he thinks you want to  stay, gets worried that you are  planning on robbing him blind or  going to sleep with HIS secretary.    He tells you not to worry about it  and sends you home. Tada. 

Or how  about this one for the kids. The School bully is fixing to take your  lunch, smile, Know he figures that  you spit on the sandwitch and doesn't want it anymore. Cool huh.  

 It is this easy. Make them worry and wonder what's up. After  awhile I guarentee life will be just a little smoother. 

      Idea #2: How about this one,  Don't sweat the little shit. I know, you all have heard it before, but nobody is listening.  Think people. Joe Blow goes to work everyday worrying if  his boss got laid and wether  or not he still has a job. Then  he goes home and worries  about money, his kid's grades  at school, and if his wife is cheating on him. He finally  goes to bed worrying about tomorrow, Which isn't even here yet, finally gets to sleep,  and has a heart attack.   

Do any of you see the moral to the story? Joe has killed himself with worry, and it is pointless because now he doesn't have a job, his kids  don't have a father, and I can guarrentee you that now his wife will sleep with someone else. And he caused every bit of this himself.  If once in a while he decided not to care, he would still be here Sometimes you have to  care enough not to care.   Excuse me now, Joe's wife is waiting for me.

Idea # 3:  Accept responsibility for your own actions.  That means people should quit blaming everyone else for their own faults.  Examples:  

• You are late for work after being stopped for speeding.  You are not late because of the cop that stopped you, that is his job.  you are late because you were speeding.
• Your kids get into trouble at school.  Don't just blame it on the kids they hang around with or put it off on the teachers.  Accept that it may have to do with the fact your kids screwed up and they should be held responsible, or that you as a parent are the problem and need some work on your parenting skills.
• You are walking across your neighbors yard and trip over a water hose and break your ankle.  This should not automatically be the neighbors fault for not rolling up his hose.  Hell, it has probally been laying there for months and he never tripped over it.  How about this for a thought,...Watch were you are walking and pick up your feet.  See how easy that is.

   We should all stop and take time to understand that we are not perfect, and like everyone else on the planet we make mistakes.  Then maybe we can get back to being able to laugh at our own imperfections and go on with are lifes while not clogging up the courts with out whining and bitching so that maybe that kid who got hit by a drunk driver while playing in his own front yard can go to court and be taking care of without having to wait for 2 years to even get into court.

  Here is something else to consider,...your neighbor probally doen't like you anyway.  hehheh.

Idea #4:  This is the one that people write me and don't seem to agree with.  I have actually had people e-mail me and say that I am a jerk for putting it here with the others.  LIFE IS NOT ALL GREAT!  I am sorry but every minute of every day cannot be perfect.  The fact of the matter is this.  Go through life and enjoy those fleeting moments of greatness and pleasure.  There will more than likely be more bad or bland days than good but if you keep your eyes open and watch for them, the good days will come around.

I wish I could change this fact but I can't.  And to be honest I don't really think I would.  We need the bad along with the good to help us apreciate those times in life that are special.  If life was easy all the time and the weather was always good we would just get bored.  Obsticals and challenges are what make life intertaining and keep us awake at the wheel.  For those of you that are convinced that your life is so much worse than the rest of us, I am sorry that you have never met a child that is challenged physically or mentally because someone during his or her life felt the terrible urge to dive drunk or got a feeling of power by abusing them.   Or maybe I could introduce you to someone that lives day to day by hiding in abanding buildings to stay out of the weather and considers a good meal as one that is in the top half of a trash can and not the bottom.  The thing that sets these people above so many others is that even though they probally have more reasons to complain,...they continue to get by one day at a time and hope that someone realizes that they are there.  I figure that isn't asking to much.
