    This quote is from a professional associate and is some of best advice I've ever received.

    In any situation...

    You can make things better...

    Or you can make things worse...

    Your choice.

    We used to use that one a lot, or its brother "If you didn't win, and you didn't cheat, you didn't try hard enough." Not sure on the source for that one though.

    "...singing songs of hardship on a thousand-pound guitar." A line from a song (Backstreet Boozer) by my new favourite English songwriter, Sally Ironmonger. She's damn good. So is her husband, Brian Carter, who plays with her.

    No, my insurance company is the most boring and staid of insurance companies. I have long believed that when you do business with someone, that YOU should be the 'wild and crazy' one the other guy has to worry about. Never do business with the person who is crazier than you.

    Man got to tell himself he understand.

    To be fair...the Browns did win several NFL championships under Paul before the Super Bowl was invented and he helped the Bengals reach two Super Bowls.

    But you're not wrong.

    In order to truly overcome your social anxiety at a deep, gut level, you must repeatedly take bold action. It is only through trying something new, and with a different perspective, that you learn to see the world and the people around you in a different light.
