Care to share some wisdom?

Another one that I tend to live by:

Oops. Hopefully that's the stupidest thing I do today.
 
I have that MANY unfinished projects around [ work in progress ] that I'm sure this homily was meant for me ..................
Once I used to be indecisive ...now I'm not so sure
 
I don't know if this is wisdom or stupidity on my part, and it's not an anecdote, but due to many medical complications with my poor ligaments (born with what doctors and Latin speaking people call Ligamentous Laxity) I was told I will wind up in a wheelchair eventually and inevitably. The doctors advice is to not ride, not skateboard, not ride bikes, and then I will be in less pain and stave off the wheelchair for a few more years. Those years are precious to me. I fear that I will regret not living my life to it's fullest, and I would hate to spend a few pain free years wondering what it would have been like to experience something. So my bit of wisdom is this; When you know the consequences and you choose to go against proper advice your own stubbornness is your rise and downfall all in one. You will never regret making an informed decision, only you might feel the repercussions for quite a while after that decision.

Wisdom for sure. and if that wheelchair day comes...cafe' it!:)
 
Pawn, I've had medical crap going on all my life. Had 6 majot operations in 2 years. That's just the tip of the iceburg. When a car hit me, the doctor kept wanting to take my foot off. I told him to sit down and shut up- I know what my body can take.
So- now I take Glucosamine et al and when my foot feels like a truck is backing over it I thank God I don't have to kick my bike with a fake foot.
 
Jeez Ernie...maybe you should cut back on the dancing. I know the girls'll be broken hearted but it's good to know when to say when....heh.

Good job not letting Ol' Sawbones start hacking!

edit: ok wow...that's bad grammar, even for me!

yeah, hell yeah. Actually I'd probably have a couple of chairs; one for skateparks like this amazing kid: Wheelchair Back Flip Woodward, California

one for offroading, and one for when my wife and I hit the town.

I'm sitting here at my computer typing with a stage 4 ligament sprain in my wrist wondering why I do the things I do (my wife shakes her head and understand though) and then I hear about people almost losing limbs and it doesn't seem so bad. Good luck with the pain, being in pain sucks.
 
Great thread guys! I was "going to bed in a minute" a half hour ago...
Here's wisdom not from me but that I like and try to remember:

"After the darkest night comes a brighter day" T. Shakur
 
Always make sure you have a firm grip on your keys when walking over a storm drain.
 
do it right do it once is what my dad always said

takes 5x's as long to fix what you rushed the first time

sometimes you just need to walk away

and of course "be the change you want to see in others"
