    Folks always come on here asking for advice about everything. Figuring if you are successful, and have a ferrari, you are wise. I have given this some thought, and I guess I have some nuggets of wisdom to pass on, anyone else?

    In regards to women:

    1) Look at your girlfriends mother. That is exactly what your girlfriend will look like in the future. I don't care if she is a super model now. If her mom weights 400, she will too.

    2) If a woman wears expensive clothes, and doesn't work...don't marry her.

    3) If the woman doesn't offer to pay for something on the first date...its game over. I'm not saying you should let her pay, but the gesture better be there.

    4) When picking girlfriends, always ask yourself in the back of your head, ifthis person would make a good mother...

    In regards to money:

    1) It won't make you happy. If you are unhappy now, money won't change that.

    2) Some people have unbelievably stupid luck, and make money without trying. Some work hard and succceed. Some never make it. Life isn't fair.

    In regards to life:

    1) You may die tommorrow.

    2) No one ever went to their death bed wishing they had worked more...

    Anyone else...

    The 6 sayings/proverbs that I try to live by....so far they have done me very well.

    -In order to lead the orchestra, one must turn their back on the crowd.

    -Good taste never goes out of style.

    -Buy the best, cry once.

    -Beware the lollipop of mediocrity...lick it once and you suck forever.

    -That which is excellent is new forever.

    -Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.

    You can't buy class.

    Be careful who you date, you never know who you're going to fall in love with.

    Somebody always has more than you do, find what makes you HAPPY.

    Family is forever.

    Never loan money. If you must, make it a gift.

    Don't eat yellow snow

    Don't pee into the wind

    Always wear clean underwear in case you are in an accident though if you get in an accident more than likely you'll **** your pants anyway

    At 10 they are a 2, 2 they are a 10 remember that for the next morning for coyote love issues

    Don't let strippers you may date know where you live

    Money can always be made/replaced time can not

    Whoever says money isnt important is poor.

    If you dont know what to do, dont do anything.

    Dont keep all your eggs in one basket.

    Buyers are liars.

    Dont live life scared.

    If something seems too good to be true, it is.

    Oh yeah---Important one--

    *NEVER* ask a woman if she's pregnant.

    You will never find a book on how to be miserable

    People, when they have backed themselves into a corner will do and say anything to get out.

    If it flies, floats or (f-word)'s , rent it

    Mean is the fist of a man, evil is the heart of a woman

    It'a a cliche saying, but I'll repeat it:

    Money doesn't buy happiness, but it makes misery infinitely more tolerable.

    I believe it is actually:

    "It is better to be silent and thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

    Abraham Lincoln

    One of my favorites, or to paraphrase:

    Never miss a good opportunity to shut up.

    Early to bed, early to rise. Makes a man healthy, weathly and wise.

    The more sins you confess, the more books you'll sell.

    It is more difficult to contend with oneself than with the world.

    Never underestimate the power of your enemies.

    Words have no wings but they can fly many thousands of miles.

    24 hours in a day. 24 beers in a case ... coincidence?

    Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.
