Wisdom

Posted on 12/19/2015 by Andrew Reynolds

Told I am feeling old and wise so I decided to share a few wise sayings I use in my daily life:

  • A shortcut is often the longest way.
  • There is nothing as complex as simplicity.
  • If wishes were ponies, we’d need more brooms and shovels.
  • There is no computer problem so bad that going to lunch won’t fix.
  • Who are who you say you are – always call yourself a genius.
  • Always present lists in even numbers of items.  Symmetry is important.

Well, time to get back to the rocking chair, stare at the rain and think profound thoughts.

    You are in high spirits here Andrew.:) I think the rocking chair thinking profound thoughts suits you. And of course you are right; short cuts take you all around the country side. Geniuses, of course we all are! So let us shine.:)

    All so true! Although I’ve tried telling myself I’m a genius but it doesn’t seem to work!! I wish you and your family a lovely Christmas.

    So true, especially number 1. Now I have a GPS and hopefully all short cuts are eliminated…

    My husband’s two saying about the computer that I’ve incorporated into my life. 1. The right mouse button is your friend. 2. Jesus saves, and so should you.
