Hey Pisces,
did Robert Kiyosaki really say the following – that “If you argue with an idiot then you have two idiots.”
I love that quote – he’s a smart man that Kiyosaki – got some good sayings…any more you can remember from him or anyone else – would love to hear them.
“If You never never ask, you’ll never never know”
Sorry, Geo, I’ve never heard the man speak and doubt I ever will so I cannot supply any more wisdom from that source.
But I do think this could turn out into a good and most interesting thread so what about changing the topic name to something like ‘Some good sayings’ and I am sure that from time to time we will see some real gems.
Regards,
Pisces
Hey Geo, I just thought of something.
What about ‘I am pisced off about Bec’ ? [wink]
Pisces
I like that Pisces – uve already started mate by suggesting that – good advice – I’ll start one up
“If You never never ask, you’ll never never know”
Geo, all you need to do is to change the topic name which you can do by editing the post.
Pisces
another good suggestion Pisces
“If You never never ask, you’ll never never know”
Here is another bit of wise observation, uttered elsewhere by Kinks :
In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in practice, there is….
Pisces
What about ………. ?
‘Politicians are corrupt and, if they are not, they soon will be.’
Pisces
hhhmmm…your losing track Pisces – ill take you up on your first suggestion…
“If You never never ask, you’ll never never know”
From ‘The Daily reckoning’ a daily newsletter dedicated to shares and the economy and in this case talking about Greenspan and deflation : “As they used to say in the Soviet Union: ‘nothing is to be believed until it is officially denied.’”

The idiot quote predates Kiyosaki by several thousand years.
Whether you believe you can, or believe you can’t – you’re right!

My favourite saying is,
“The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step”.
Quite often on my journey through life I have looked at a job or task and been scared off by the sheer enormity of it.When looking at the whole picture things can sometimes seem a bit daunting.However when I came across this saying it had a profound a effect on me.
I started taking on tasks I would never have dreamt of before.I now look at each small step and tackle it one by one.And before you know it you look up and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I wanted a motorhome so I could go away fishing.But I couldnt afford the hefty price of $80 000.So I took a different approach and bought a bus for $6500.Each week I pulled a bit more out of the bus until I was left with just a shell.A very rusty shell.And each week I bought a bit of steel and rebuilt what I could.Each week a bit more and so on.Now after 3 years all I have left to do is the kitchen cupboard.When I get a few dollars I will start on it.When I first looked at the rusty frame I thought what a huge job but with each day and each week the job got better and better,closer and closer to completion.I figure I,m at about the nine hundred mile mark by now and each of those steps I take is getting easier and easier.So far I have probably spent a bit over 15000 but I am a lot happier to do it my way than have to go without because the 80k was to daunting.
This saying can be applied to everything we do in life.
Russ.In the End; we will remember not the words of our enemies; but the silence of our friends. – Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)
