MKism: Food for Thought

I’ve come up with various concepts I call “Food for Thought”.  I never intended to share them with others, as I’d purposed them only as self-reminders.  Here are some of the more quotable ones:

  • Sometimes you gotta get burned before you stop putting your hand in the fire.

  • “Shoulda, woulda, coulda” is for dreamers.  Action is for winners.

  • Worrying is unnecessary.  Instead, be prepared.

  • A messy environment begets a messy mind.

  • Pride is an inhibitor of happiness.  Be gracious in your losses and humble in your victories.

  • Just because everyone else is doing it, does not make it the smart thing to do.

I hope it helps.
