It's useful sometimes to gather our thoughts and reflect on the lessons we've learned over the years.
Here are a few of Vic's favorites:
1) No one is listening until you make a mistake.
2) Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
3) If you haven't had much education, you must use your brain.
4) The things that come to those who wait are the things that those who got there first left behind.
5) Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield.
6) It's better to be the windshield.
7) If at first you don't succeed, sky diving is not for you.
8) Good judgment comes from experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
9) The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
10) Before criticizing anyone you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
11) If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
12) The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
13) Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
14) An "expert" is someone from out of town carrying a clipboard.
15) The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt or leaky tire.
16) If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
17) Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.
18) It may be that your sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.
19) If you lend somebody $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
