the lesson...

The funny thing with life is, whether we like it or not, there is always a lesson. I've learned some good ones that I thought are worth sharing. First the cliche ones and then the ones where I run my mouth off:
1. Experience adds, not subtracts.
2. You kill more bees with honey (or something to that effect).
3. Listen twice as much as you talk (very difficult for moi).
4. Don't romanticize being the Machiavellian hero in any given situation. Being malicious and vindictive and conniving just because you're hurting just makes you hurt more.
5. Everyone wins from a richer, more stable Mexico.
6. It's okay to want more. It's divine to know you need less.

Okay Confucius, go do something of substance. I didn't say go do substance(s). Just checking.

Hey dude. Sometimes the wisdom ebbs and flows like a river. Sometimes it's dry like a post-hoot mouth. Whatevs. Let the universe take over and set yourself free.
