The second i might botch a little but comes from one of his dads good friends and goes something like this "man back in the 60's everyone was shooting smack and doing hard drugs while i was just smoking good weed and smiling the whole time." Another classic that i throw out pretty often but dont seem to live by is this "you will never look when your an old man and wish you had worked more" ************************ on Thu 14th Jun, 2007 10:31 pm PDT Emily said: "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Otherwise, one of my own thoughts: the real power of a degree is not in the department or school which issued it, but in the fact that you did it. ************************ on Fri 15th Jun, 2007 08:54 am PDT amanda said: you sound smarter if you speak with Wikipedia quotes ;) ************************ on Fri 15th Jun, 2007 08:55 am PDT amanda said: you sound smarter if you write with Wikipedia links ;) ************************ on Fri 15th Jun, 2007 09:06 am PDT amanda said: but no, seriously, part of working is being unemployed and it's ok ************************ on Fri 15th Jun, 2007 11:28 am PDT Sean said: Stop Whining! - Mr. Kimble; Kindergarten Cop ************************ on Fri 15th Jun, 2007 03:13 pm PDT Amanda said: Serve others. ************************ on Fri 15th Jun, 2007 04:21 pm PDT Jule said: Be passionate about the things you do, especially those you do for fun. and make sure to invest in your 401k...(I had to put some practical advice in there) ************************ on Fri 15th Jun, 2007 04:45 pm PDT Saxtor said: "Eat food.
