Sometimes you just have to walk away.

Sometimes you just have to walk away.

You sure do , Jesse.

"It was football time, apple time, harvest time, hunying timeschool time. Footsteps quickened. it was exciting to be in transition. It seemed more like the beginning of something than like the end of it" - Paul Gruchow

Some days seem filled with the exciting energy of change. They are like walking on a bridge from one time period to the next. Today feels like this in Khon Kaen where the schools are out, end of "Buddhist lent" is soon, rainy seasone ending close.

As I experience the circle of seasons outside me, I am grateful for the ongoing flow of change within.

"If you don't know by now, don't mess with it."

Mr. Natural, Zap Comix character...guru extraordinaire.

The worried convict dies many times before he reaches the gallows.

As the rain has pelted down the last few weeks I was left pondering one of the great mysteries of modern times on TV, namely:

'What's happened to the great drought doom soothsayer, Andrew Fletcher? Has he been washed away in one of the Chiang Mai floods, swept up by one of the Nakhon Phanom run-offs, or submerged under the Chonburi overflow?

He has been very quiet of late hey?

I wonder if he ever followed up with the Thai government like he said he was going to do...

if at first you don't succeed, cheat..............erm i mean try and try again

"Fear knocked on the door, Faith answered it, and No one was there"

There is nobility in being better than your fellow man. Nobility lies in being better than your former self.

And here aee a few from the great David Brent

1. Eagles may soar high, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

2. Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

3. There may be no 'I' in team, but there's a 'ME' if you look hard enough.

4. Process and Procedure are the last hiding place of people without the wit and wisdom to do their job properly.

5. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

6. Never do today that which will become someone else’s responsibility tomorrow.

7. Every time you open your mouth you have this wonderful ability to continually confirm what I think.

8. Show me a good loser and I'll show you a LOSER!

9. Put the key of despair into the lock of apathy. Turn the knob of mediocrity slowly and open the gates of despondency - welcome to a day in the average office.

10. It's the team that matters. Where would The Beatles be without Ringo? If John got Yoko to play drums the history of music would be completely different.

11. What does a squirrel do in the summer? It buries nuts. Why? Cos then in winter time he's got something to eat and he won't die. So, collecting nuts in the summer is worthwhile work. Every task you do at work think, would a squirrel do that? Think squirrels. Think nuts.

12. When confronted by a difficult problem, you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"

13. Accept that some days you are the pigeon, and some days you are the statue.

14. If your boss is getting you down, look at him through the prongs of a fork and imagine him in jail.

15. If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

16. You don't have to be mad to work here! In fact we ask you to complete a medical questionnaire to ensure that you are not.

17. If you treat the people around you with love and respect, they will never guess that you're trying to get them sacked.

18. If at first you don't succeed, remove all evidence you ever tried.

19. You have to be 100% behind someone, before you can stab them in the back.

20. If work was so good, the rich would have kept more of it for themselves.

21. Those of you who think you know everything are annoying to those of us who do.

22. There's no 'I' in 'team'. But then there's no 'I' in 'useless smug colleague', either. And there's four in 'platitude-quoting idiot'. Go figure.

23. Know your limitations and be content with them. Too much ambition results in promotion to a job you can't do.

24. Make good use of your cylindrical filing unit, the one you mainly keep under your desk.

25. Quitters never win, winners never quit. But those who never win and never quit are idiots.

26. If you're gonna be late, then be late and not just 2 minutes - make it an hour and enjoy your breakfast.

27. Remember the 3 golden rules: 1. It was like that when I got here. 2. I didn't do it. 3. (To your Boss) I like your style.

28. The office is like an army, and I'm the field general. You're my footsoldiers and customer quality is the WAR!!!

29. Set out to leave the first vapour trail in the blue-sky scenario.

30. Statistics are like a lamp-post to a drunken man - more for leaning on than illumination.

31. A problem shared is a problem halved, so is your problem really yours or just half of someone else’s?

32. Is your work done? Are all pigs fed, watered and ready to fly?....

33. You don't have to be mad to work here, but you do have to be on time, well presented, a team player, customer service focused and sober!!

34. I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was just some b*stard with a torch, bringing me more work.

35. Avoid employing unlucky people - throw half of the pile of CVs in the bin without reading them.

I love it man

Lot's to think about today!

A GOOD friend will come and bail you out from Jail.............but a TRUE friend will be sitting next to you saying "D4mn....we fcucked up there buddy"

Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present.

Silence is not only the absence of sound but also the stillness of mind.

When you burn with the fire of anger smoke gets in your eyes.

Peace is so hard to find because it is under your nose.

All so true!

I never stop talking so I guess my mind is on 'roids.

Relationships based on flasehood are like houses built with their foundations in mud.

I like to think the same about relationships built on lust.

The fool wants other to see him; the wise man smiles in the audience.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself,

but thinking of yourself less

If I keep the weaknesses of others in my mind, they soon become part of me.

When others make mistakes do not keep counting these mistakes. Allow them to count on you for co-operation to erase that weakness.

Crying only a little bit is no use. You must cry until your pillow is soaked. Then you can get up and laugh . . .

Good one Neeranam.

And also good to see this thread resurrected.

I forgot about JD mate.

Better than all those change a letter things anyway.

How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.

George Washington

What wisdom is acquired during the course of a life is a result of the mind's tenderness toward the heart.

There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit.

Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.
