Success?

  1. he's got a point. i had to learn the 51/49 rule- meaning you can only put others first 49% of the time, but you have to save 2% more for yourself.

  2. I don't often agree with ol' Mr. Crotchety-pants but he makes a great point here.

  3. I have always admired Bill. From his records to his movie, TV roles. He is also a pretty good thinker. I like the statement.

  4. I like the way Cosby phrases it but I disagree with him a bit. No harm trying to please folks, just be realistic. There are always some who prefer or find a reason to be displeased no matter what.
    Best,
