Advice/Thoughts I Should Try to Follow

I really don't have a place to keep quotes, etc. handy, so I thought I'd create this page.  If someone knows how I could turn this into a gadget that would randomly display one on my blog (changing daily), I would love the insight...

  • I'm smiling, that alone should scare you.

  • In our leisure we reveal what kind of people we are.  -- Ovid

  • I think that the people who worry the most about their parenting are actually the ones who have the least to worry about...  (I wrote this on a friend's Facebook page.  Why can't I apply it to myself?)

  • The Three Most Important Productivity Tools — The trash can, the delete key, and the word “no.” - "Keeping It Straight", Patrick Rhone

  • Don't make things harder than they need to be.

  • Just get 'er done.

  • When you're going through hell, don't stop to take pictures.
