Observed: “trucker type” deciding he’s my best friend and dumping his life story on me. It wouldn’t make acceptable flash fiction. I realize and acknowledge it is important for him to share. Life comes in all qualities, all important. Important doesn’t mean interesting. #life #character

Which books do you steer people away from that “soil” your sensibilities or beliefs? #book #reading #life

You don’t need to be famous to be important. #life

It’s not up to anyone to justify the means. They have to justify their own actions first. And justification isn’t reason enough. #life #failure

Limits aren’t meant to be broken. Limits aren’t meant to restrict you. Limits are there as a warning that you may screw up. #life

Sometimes you have to stretch before you exercise your abilities. #life

“A shallow sea is worth more than a deep one, even if it has more than water.” #writing #life

“It is the mark of an inexperienced man not to believe in luck.” — Joseph Conrad It’s the mark of an experienced man to not rely in luck. — me I’m working on ideas for the C3 short story. #mdc3con #writing #life

If you’re “living the dream”, you aren’t living your life. And dreams are often nightmares in disguise. #life

Just think, if oil is/are the remains of decomposed ancient creatures, you won’t be worth much in the future. #life

Any organization will fight to surivve. That is the primary goal or any organization, trumping any other human goal. The older the organization, the more it “feels” it deserves to survive, even if it has to drastically change in order to do so. #life #organization #business #government

We alls share problems, inferiorities, and deficiencies. Some of us just try to overcome them. #life

It’s cold out. It’s cold enough to freeze any simile or metaphor. Not that it’s the coldest it’s ever been. But cold enough to freeze any grammatical phrase. #wriing #life

Stating your position/opinion doesn’t mean you have a logical reason, only an opinion or belief. #life #failure

Arguing involves emotion. Debating involves logic. Too bad, most have never taken a logic course. #life #failure #logic

If the tasks you perform day-in and day-out never change, you are in a rut. That’s ok, if you’re dull and boring or you can never change. #life #failure #gamedev

You don’t need to be perfect to make an improvement. #life

If you can’t’ have fun (at your expense), you aren’t. #life

What book influenced you, but you can’t put the influence into words. For me, there are many. “The American” comes to mind, but not for the reasons you may think. #book #reading #life

Never look for things that match your expectations. Look for those that subvert or turn it into chaos. That is where growth, knowledge, and understanding live. #life #success

The useless combined with anything makes the anything useless. #life #failure

This, in life. #life #failure #success

If someone tells you to “hang tight” they are telling you to remain stressed. #life #failure
