I like that one too. One great piece of advice I recieved was to remember that yes, the future is important, but don't focus so much on it that you forget about the day you're presently in. |

"A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride." - C. S. Lewis "There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way." - C.S Lewis |

I remember one episode in my life that I was being manipulated by chauvinistic bitches and getting really money-hungry to the point I was just using and dumping my friends for some loot to get some. Then one night I sat down with one of my friend's brother-in-law with some beers and was being real with him. He understood and just told me,
"Bitches come and go but your homies got your back. How you gonna sweat a hoochie over your boys?" and "You make that money. Never let it make you." |
