"The Other Guy" says...

There's nothing that jealous, envious people hate and despise more than to see those they hate, happy and successful.

So the best way to torture those who hate you, is though the continuous glow of your happiness and shining success!

You simply cant be the moon and still be jealous of the stars lol

Today, we're visited by our very own resident mafioso, the wily old "Don" Calogero, who offers up some sage advice for the day..."Figlio mio, ricorda sempre che un leopardo non puo' cambiare posto, solo la sua tattica!"

when translated...

"My son, always remember that a leopard cannot change his spots, only his tactics!"


I think that this ancient proverb is particularly apropos, no?

Another good one. In my country the poverb goes with a wolf, instead of a leopard.

TD, another good one I like (that can be applied) is this little gem...

"The devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist." - Unknown

Confucius say...

"Be very careful of whom you trust! Because betrayal always comes from those you let your guard down with, and give a measure of trust to."

and...

"Don" Calogero advises...

"It's not just about who's being sincere to your face, but also, about who stays sincere behind your back."

This evening "Don" Calogero decided to grace us with his presence...and sage advice. This particular phrase is an ancient Sicilian proverb and it goes something like this...

"Meglio solo che male accompagnato!"

Which essentially translates to...

"Better alone than in bad company!"


Consider it food for thought.

Mafia boss Don Calogero always tries to advise his men wisely...like this little gem he offers up today,

"Make sure to always give prospective girlfriends 'the test.' Tell her you are taking her to The Olive Garden for dinner. If she seems happy, you dump her, and you dump her fast!"

Confucius say...

“People that are obsessed with hating you, feel flattered. Their whole lives revolve around you.” – Lady Gaga

..."Eastside, Westside, all around the town"...as the song goes...

I like that last bit MS, "Eastside, WESTSIDE, all around the town."

Thats from the famous song, titled, "The Sidewalks of New York." But I guess in this case it should probably be more appropriately changed to, "The sidewalks of The New York Mafia!" LOL

And if I remember correctly, the opening chorus goes something like this, "Eastside, Westside,, all around the town, the tots sang 'ring-around-rosie,' while their bridge was falling down.
