Post by: SEO on February 19, 2011, 04:02:16 AM: Read this:

"The wise man speaks because he has something to say, the fool because he has to say something."
I admire the exactly saying "has something to say" and "has to say something". It's useful about learning English in addition to the wisdom itself.

Advice To Live By
http://www.funnywebsite.com/advice.php

  As a philosopher Geser Kurultaev wants to say (and judge, and explain) these points clearly:

"1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully"

Not necessary. Not in any case. For instance - what about if this people do not deserve it?

"2. Memorize your favorite poem"

Well, it's alright. As a poet (not only as a philosopher), I like it and I did it.

"3. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have, or sleep all you want"

Sure. Doubt everything, especially when you have no enough information to make the reasonable conclusion!
Savings are good, but the good investment is better.
Moderate sleep is probably the best.

"4. When you say, "I love you," mean it."

Sometimes it's okay to say it, without mean it, because it helps to make somebody happy. And there is a real possibility in the future really to become love him/her. Depends...

"5. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye."

Who knows is it the optimal way? Someones prefer people to hug them when they're saying "I'm sorry" or to say it kneeling :) ... Depends...

"6. Be engaged at least six months before you get married and get your parents approval."

It's desirable. Not every time possible.

"7. Believe in love at first sight"

Why? It's just a special case and it's not love, it's mostly infatuation.

"8. Never laugh at anyone's dreams."

  Be polite, but if the dreams are crazy, harmful, self-destroying...? Then the reaction is necessary. The constructive criticism is necessary with or without laugh.

"9. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it's the only way to live life completely."

  Don't think that the completeness of the life depends not only of the deep and passionate love. And the successful love is not every time the passionate one.

10. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

Yes. Be reasonable, objective and civilized!

Title: As a philosopher Geser Kurultaev would like to say...(part 2)
Post by: MSL on April 20, 2012, 03:39:13 PM: Quote from: SEO on September 23, 2011, 03:11:28 AM
Advice To Live By
http://www.funnywebsite.com/advice.php

It's time for part 2 of my analysis of these quotes.

11. Don't judge people by their relatives.

True. Brother and sister, mother and son, uncle and nephew...they all may be so different. Don't need to think about the relatives, think about the concrete person first. Relatives may provide some additional helpful information, but mostly it's about the concrete person, his/her biography, DNA, experience, etc.

12. Talk slow but think quick.

It's not that important how slow/fast are you talking. Thinking quick is alright, but it's about the quantity (speed). It's also important to think well, to produce quality thinking.

13. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"

LOL! ;D And then what? Hopefully he/she will forget about the question? ;) It's better to say that you prefer not to say, it's a secret, etc.

14. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

Risk depends of many factors. The "size" of the love or the achievements do not correlate with the risk.

15. Call your Mom.

A bit frivolous. What about if there is no mom? Or if you and your mom are living together?...

16. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.

OK. Polite.

17. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

Right.

18. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; Responsibility for all your actions.

Alright.

19. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

A good quote!

20. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

Sometimes there is no way to correct it. Then, at least - remorse (I'm sorry!) and excuse (Excuse me, please!).

A lot of quotes

You've got to go out on a limb sometimes because that's where the fruit is.
Will Rogers

Failure is not falling down, it is not getting up again.
Mary Pickford

A career is a wonderful thing, but you can't snuggle up to it on a cold night.
Marilyn Monroe

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. Charles Schultz

Great spirits often meet violent opposition with mediocre minds.
Albert Einstein

I grew up with six brothers. That's how I learned to dance - waiting to get into the bathroom.
Bob Hope

I had a linguistics professor who said that it's man's ability to use language that makes him the dominant species on the planet. That may be. But I think there's one other thing that separates us from animals. We aren't afraid of vacuum cleaners.
Jeff Stilson

I never knew my father was an alcoholic until he came home sober one night...
Andre Botes

I no longer wish to belong to the kind of club that accepts people like me as members.
Groucho Marx

Albert Einstein

Justice will only be achieved when those who are not injured by crime feel as indignant as those who are.
King Solomon

Life is tough; it's tougher when you're stupid.

Winston Churchill

Once in Africa I lost the corkscrew and we were forced to live off food and water for weeks.
Ernest Hemingway

Nothing that results from human progress is achieved with unanimous consent. And those who are enlightened before the others are condemned to pursue that light in spite of others.
Christopher Columbus

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Gandhi

The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon.
Robert Cromier

The trouble with work is that it interferes with living.
Peter Mckill

Robert A. Heinlein

If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts. But if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.
Francis Bacon

Ninety-nine percent of the people in the world are fools, and the rest of us are in great danger of contagion.
Thornton Wilder

Only when the the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realise that we can not eat money.
19th Century Native American

There's a lot we should be able to learn from history. And yet history proves that we never do. In fact, the main lesson of history is that we never learn the lessons of history. This makes us look so stupid that few people care to read it. They'd rather not be reminded. Any good history book is mainly just a long list of mistakes, complete with names and dates. It's very embarrassing.
A. Whitney Brown, The Big Picture

There won't be anything we won't say to people to try and convince them that our way is the way to go.

Guy Pearce in Memento

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
John Lennon

Life is like a box of chocolates...a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a...is an empty box...filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.
'Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man,' The X-Files

Into every life a little rain must fall, but I think someone's mistaken me for Noah.
Allison Raul

I love scandals about other people, but scandals about myself don't interest me. They have got no charm of novelty.
Oscar Wilde

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve immortality by not dying.
Woody Allen

I do not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
Voltaire

I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her.
Ellen DeGeneres

Creative minds have always been known to survive any kind of bad training.
Anna Freud

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.
Mark Twain

Confession is good for the soul only in the sense that a tweed coat is good for dandruff - it is a palliative rather than a remedy.
Peter De Vries

Post by: PageRank on January 29, 2024, 07:44:27 AM: BE SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE THESE:

1. Someone makes 10x more than you do in a 9-5 job because they have more "leverage" with their work.

2. Distraction is the greatest killer of success. It stunts and destroys your brain.

3. You shouldn't take advice from people who are not where you want to be in life.

4. No one is coming to save your problems. Your life's 100% your responsibility.

5. You don't need 100 self-help books, all you need is action and self discipline.

6. Unless you went to college to learn a specific skill (ie. doctor, engineer, lawyer), you can make more money in the next 90 days just learning sales.

7. No one cares about you. So stop being shy, go out and create your chances.

8. If you find someone smarter than you, work with them, don't compete.

9. Smoking has 0 benefit in your life. This habit will only slow your thinking and lower your focus.

10. Comfort is the worst addiction and cheap ticket to depression.

11. Don't tell people more than they need to know, respect your privacy.

12. Avoid alcohol at all cost. Nothing worse than losing your senses and acting a fool.

13. Keep your standards high and don't settle for something because it's available.

14. The family you create is more important than the family you come from.

15. Train yourself to take nothing personally to save yourself from 99.99% of mental problems.
