| The Main Thing Is Not To Get Excited  |
from banking: Banking is an easy business, you just have to get the money in, then you have to get it out, then you have to get it back. From the USMC as explained to me by the company gunny in reference to acquisition of supplies and equipment: If it's loose it's mine. If it ain't nailed down it's loose. If I can pry it up, it ain't nailed down. _______________________ | |||

Doing a great job at this place is like taking a piss wearing dark wool pants. You get a warm and fuzzy feeling but nobody else knows about it. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

In any planned scenario, from love to combat: "The enemy always gets a vote." In law: "If you have the brains, the time and the resources to go to law school, go to business school and get an MBA." "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

Manufacturing Engineering: * Our work starts when the design guys think they're finished or want to start something else. * Sometimes, "do nothing" is a valid engineering alternative. * Tools, techniques, and troubleshooting, but not firefighting. God bless America. | |||

Policing: everyone is armed, until you prove otherwise. When searching a person, keep searching even after you find the (gun/drug)...there’s more stuff to hide things. Always watch the hands. Sailor: one hand for the job, one hand for the ship. (Meaning that you must always be aware of how the ship is moving -otherwise you can be tossed down ladders, fall over items, fall overboard.) "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A. Heinlein “You may beat me, but you will never win.” sigmonkey-2020 “A single round of buckshot to the torso almost always results in an immediate change of behavior.” Chris Baker | |||

From Banking: Always follow the 3-6-3 Rule: Pay 3% on deposits, Charge 6% for loans, Be out on the golf course by 3. ... stirred anti-clockwise. | |||
