Life's Anecdotes

b) Friendster always seems to delete your blogs before you're able to post them making you seethe through your teeth after spending 20-30minutes writting nonsense that no one bothers looking at except yourself.

y) We often run all the wrong races to finally seek to end at where we started.
z) I just wasted 26minutes writting 26 sentences which will not help you in anyway, Really or bluffly. But
Hopefully i would have helped you waste 10minutes of your time knowing next to nothing about something which will thus enable you to hopefully do something about nothing.

1) Everybody knows a lot but no one ever does anything.
2) What we know and do are often two different things.
3) We like to give excuses, if it were up to me i'd affix people with excuses and buts in their names. (My name's Joseph But, nice to meet you too.)
4) Everybody talks a lot about every thing and they usually feel mightily productive after all that talking.
5) Same applies to meetings.
6) Nobody ever understands, everybody's too busy listening to himself.
7) Talking a revered art, Listening a lost art. (Wonder why you always get your orders wrong? =D )
8) There aren't any algorithm/algorithms to life's myriad problems.
9) Ever wondered how a man can ignore a dollar on the ground but jump into the river over the 50cents he dropped?
10) Common sense, is uncommon.
11) If humans were without brains but only emotions, we would be no different from animals.
12) People get excited over mentos and coke but feel nothing when WFP cranks up emergency relief for Afghan flood victims, delivering enough to feed 60,000 people.
13) People tend to treat those closer to them with more contempt than they do towards strangers.
14) Most people look down on others very few look up to others. (look up = think highly of others)
15) To reprimand or criticise is easier than to encourage and complement. How sad that i myself am prone to such disdainful behaviour. =(
16) We often like to give advice but dislike receiving advice.
17) Etc...

Sidenote: The above lists is a list of what i've seen, experienced, done or understood as such. I often review thoughts and experiences and attempt to be different in making that difference. The journey is not in the destination but the process.
