What I live by

A few things I live by ...

• You Have to Know BAD to Know Good. Some people can't appreciate Good until they experience Bad ... at the very least experiencing Bad helps you put Good into proper perspective. I usually smile at a person that tries to give me grief, they help me appreciate the good people in my life.
  
• If Someone Throws You a Ball You don't Have to Catch It. I try not to adopt other people's problems.
  
• Say It Out Loud. If it sounds like a great idea out loud then do it ... if it sounds stupid when you say it out loud then don't. For example, My team won lets celebrate!!! (Good) My team won lets celebrate by burning cars and throwing rocks. (Stupid)
  
• If It Does Not Matter 5 Years From Now it Does Not Matter. If it does not matter to me five years from now then I let it go ... if it does matter I fight.
  
• Know Your Strengths and Weakness ... Others Do.
  
• Surround Yourself with Good People. Good things happen when you are with good people ... bad things happen when you are with bad people.
• You Are 100% Responsible for Every Relationship You Are In.
• Respect Others ... even if they don't deserve it.

Ther are a few more but I can't remember them now.
