There is a time for confrontation, but there are some things you can only approach from the oblique. The direct route isn’t always the shortest distance, not every mountain in your life can be tunnel-blasted through. In fact, you may have to leave something alone for weeks or months until you find the right solution or the right one presents itself.
Give it time! You can’t conquer Rome in a day, and if you are moving 100 mph for 100% of the time, YOU ARE GIVING IT ALL YOU’VE GOT. Of course you fly for the Moon, that’s how we succeed. Just don’t forget to install landing gear as well.
I have a friend who is right now going through a painful divorce. Now, I was around when he met this girl & they fell madly into bed with each other about 6 months ago. It happens. For some reason, they thought this would translate well into a marriage. And now, four months after saying “I Do” they are fighting over the settlement.
Marriage is work. Only single people think that it’s not. Do you know what divorce means? It means that you cannot stand living another minute with a woman that only yesterday you couldn’t bear living without. Fuck that. Marriage is a “WE”, not a “Me”. There is no longer a “You” or an “I”, there is only “Us”. If you have a woman who is good to you and understands you, then you are already way ahead of the game. Don’t expect perfection unless you yourself are capable of it.
A baby may be a gift from God, but God sure as hell isn’t gonna feed that little crumb snatcher. If you can’t care for a child, don’t have one. Love isn’t the main ingredient, it’s just what’s needed after things like food, clothing and shelter are covered.
I personally have NEVER been able to stand fake-assed people. Say what you mean. On second thought, maybe you shouldn’t listen to me since I suck at kissing ass. I’m in trouble at work right now because I can’t be “political”. Whatever. I never have to cover my ass because I lied to somebody. Nobody ever has to ask “I wonder what Bobbe’s thinking?”
Since I’m on the subject, you HAVE to know something about politics, now more than ever. The older I get, the more I realize: It really does make a difference if you vote or not.
Never share your dreams with someone who has no dreams of their own. People only scoff when you attempt what they themselves cannot do, and they will criticize you for succeeding. Don’t listen. Rock what you’ve got.
Remember: Those who hear no music think the dancer mad.

This is really good advice. As I am sure you know Bobbe it has a special meaning for me.
Thank you
