Don Calogero advises...

"Behind every successful person there is a pack of envious people. And the more successful you become, the more haters you'll have...It just comes with the territory, and is a fact of life. So get used to it."

The 30th U.S. President Calvin Coolidge once said, "Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence"....

"Talent will not...nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent."

"Genius will not...unrewarded genius is almost a proverb."

"Education will not...the world is full of educated derelicts."

"The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

TO ALL THE FRUSTRATED LITTLE NOTHINGS OUT THERE!
(you know who you are)


Talk is cheap, idiot rap is plentiful, and so are mindless idiots who spread garbage, while a duplicitous mentally-ill little schemer who hides in his parent’s basement behind a keyboard grows more frustrated and angry by the day.

The fact they spend so much of their sorry lives fixated and obsessed with what amounts to hopelessly “shoveling shit against the tide” tells you all you need to know about them…and their lack of mental stability.

These types of people - losers one and all - deserve one another. No doubt about that. They aimlessly wallow through life looking for a purpose, wasting day after day with fruitless endeavors, while other people live their lives in a meaningful and constructive way.

There’s an old saying in life, and it goes like this…

“There are three types of people in the world…Those that make it happen. Those that watch it happen. And those who wonder what happened.”

But there’s also a fourth type of person...one who is envious, devious, frustrated, mean-spirited and hates the whole world. This type of person needs to constantly lash out from frustration because of his own personal failings in life. A person like this can only achieve happiness when they're able tear down other people they view as being better and more accomplished than them.

There is no doubt in my mind that this fourth “type” of person lives the shallowest existence of all…

Like the man once said... "Go get yourself a job!"

A special thought and consideration for this Sunday morning...
-
"There's only one basic principe of self-defense. You must apply the most effective weapons, as soon as possible, to the most vulnerable target." -- Bruce Lee

One more....

Now its gotta be..."Balls to the Wall"

Confucius say...

"It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it."

Albert Einstein once remarked..."I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

A little much-needed Monday morning wisdom...
-

"Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools that don't have brains enough to be honest and forthright." - Benjamin Franklin

LMFAO ...NY ..U go My Man..may he smoke it up his ass!.

The old Mafioso, Don Calogero, wisely advises...

"Never seek revenge. Rotten fruit will fall by itself."

So true. If you are wronged and go out and try to get revenge on somebody then you become just as bad in a way. It’s better just to take the high road and let them screw themselves if they continue to do that to people

I agree 100% JC. (and because of who these types of cretins are inherently, they always do end up screwing themselves in the end.)

A most apropos and wise observation for this Tuesday...


"The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his!" - U.S. Army General George S. Patton
