#178-Thoughts on the Present

When God is present, everything changes!

Learn from the past, live in the present and avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.


#177-Thoughts on Represent

A clean desk represents efficiency - not a shortage of work.

Who chose Cupid, a chubby toddler with a weapon, to represent romance?


#176-Thoughts on Learning

We could learn a whole lot about people from their quotations.

Learn to say what you think, keep it clean and focus on tangibles.

Learn to see the beauty around you instead of the beauty in other parts of the world.


#175-Thoughts on Weakness

Don't mistake my meek disposition or display of decency as a sign of weakness.

People's greatest strengths and weaknesses manifest themselves as good or bad habits.

#174-Thoughts on Afford

I can't afford to misplace things and quite frankly, neither can you.

As employees move up the chain of command they get longer lunch breaks. Is this because they could now afford to buy more food?

When you have to make a decision, treat it as if you already made a wrong decision and this is a second chance. You can't afford to make another wrong decision.


#173-Thoughts on Reading

The more children read, the more success they will enjoy.

The more I read, the more I believe that I have it in me to write.

The answer to your every question is already written somewhere. You'll find it if you read enough books.


#172-Thoughts on being Normal

Normal human beings are afraid of germs.

The more I read the more I am convinced that I am a normal human being.

#171-Thoughts on being Perfect

This is a perfect day - make the most of it!

I don't have to be a perfect man. I just have to aim to be a better one!

Never strive for perfection. God made one perfect man and He was crucified on a cross.


#170-Thoughts on Instructions

I like computers; they follow instructions without asking annoying questions.

Technology does not question your rationale – it just follows your instructions – for better or for worse.


#169-Thoughts on Records

Keeping records tend to reveal if you are doing it (anything) as often as you think.

Keep adequate records and use them to effortlessly generate consistent output - like a pro.


#168-Thoughts on Effort

A small effort is better than no effort.

Getting better may require some time and effort and may generate some pain or stress.

You may have to expend some effort to put things back after you use them but that will eliminate oodles of effort the next time you need those things.


#167-Thoughts on Uniform

People in uniform are almost always at risk or in danger.

Most of us trade our time, skills and energies for remuneration; folks in uniform also trade their safety.


#166-Thoughts on Leaving

Leaving things for the last minute increases the risk and your stress level.

It is very unlikely that both of us will leave this world at the same time; one of us will remain to mourn for the other.

Many children will not litter but they have no qualms whatsoever about leaving garbage in their pockets.

#165-Thoughts on Value

The value of things increase when the creator leaves this world.

Words can be used over and over again without affecting their intrinsic value.


#164-Thoughts on News

Some of the words used to announce good news are also used to announce bad news.

A day when the top news story is about local politics is day when there are no new world tragedies.


#163-Thoughts on Meaning

We love words so much that we have more than one to convey the same meaning.

People who only want to have a good time seldom create meaningful change. The choice is yours!

We change some words from singular to plural by adding "s" to the end e.g. dog/dogs. With other words, adding "s" to the end would change the meaning of the word e.g. politic/politics.


#162-Thoughts on being Happy

A parent’s duty is to make their children happy – but not at all costs.

There is something about dancing that makes people happy – I hope to encounter it one day.

Most men will are willing to do whatever it takes to make a woman happy – until they get into bed.


#161-Thoughts on Golf

I am more interested in playing golf than improving my game.

Playing a round of golf is far more important than improving my game.


#160-Thoughts on Treasures

A willing lover is a person's greatest treasure.

Life is the greatest of all treasures - it cannot be bought or sold.

Life, the greatest of all treasures is bounded by joy at birth and sorrow at death.

The things we take for granted are the real treasures: the ability to breathe, walk, talk, see, smell, taste and hear.


#159-Thoughts on Continuum

Good and right are not always on the same end of the continuum.

Good and right are sometimes at opposite ends of the continuum.


#158-Thoughts on Action

If your actions offend God, you'll be the first to know.

Early in a marriage, a few choice words could prompt positive action; later, those same words could prompt negative action.
