1) Always patience with the rich and mighty. They didn't get where they are through impulse nor thoughtlessness.
2) Never give in to greed. Be grateful for what you have already achieved, and pursue further gains with modesty and humility.
3) Treat wins and losses as equals, Never too high from one, nor too low from the other. Both have already happened.
4) Enjoy the moment. That is all you have, besides the frauds memory and aspiration.
5) Stop yelling at the TV set.

Don't write your team off...even when your best pitcher is sidelined by major injury in spring training, they start off with 5 horrible losses and are 11 games under .500 in June.

Right! When you drag a razor over your head you're not
just removing hair but several layers of epidermis as well.
Did youse guys know that skin is an organ?

This thread is going to be huge. Huge, I tell you.

And anyone who ever played a part wouldn't turn around and hate it.

You don't get something for nothing
You don't get freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes

I've yet to google and learn what a Shaolin monk is.
I will, in the off-season.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, without a carrot
between your smiling teeth...
