This list is taken from Minyanville.com on New Years eve. It has an investment twist because it's an investing web site, but I think the wisdom expressed goes far beyond to everyday life.
Food for thought at the end of a tough year...
* All you have is your name and your word.
* Emotion is the enemy when trading.
* The only difference between genius and madness is acceptance.
* Adapt but don’t conform.
* The reaction to news is more important than the news itself.
* Time is the most precious commodity.
*Opportunities are made up easier than losses.
* The purpose of the journey is the journey itself.
* What goes around comes around.
* The greatest wisdom is bred as a function of pain.
* Bad times define good friends just as bad seasons define good fans.
* There is a massive difference between having fun and being happy.
* Be good to others and better to yourself.
* Work to live. Don’t live to work.
* Profitability begins within.
* Gratitude is latitude.
* Seeing old friends is good for the soul.
* When in doubt, sit it out.
* Time is the arbiter of all fate.
* The air of integrity gets thinner with age.
* Free will is God’s greatest gift.
* Experience is a close second.
* Negative energy is wasted energy.
* You gotta have faith.
* Hope isn’t a viable investment vehicle.
* The only difference between intervention and manipulation is communication.
* One hand washes the other.
* Good traders know how to make money but great traders know how to take a loss.
* Where you stand is a function of where you sit.
* Life is shaped by decisions made.
* Take the high road. It’s less crowded and boasts a much better view.
* To appreciate where we are, you must understand how we got here.
* The opposite of love isn’t hate; it’s apathy.
* Stay out of debt.
* The friction between opinions is where true education resides.
* A dream is only as powerful as those who believe in it.
* Money comes and goes.
* The best way to build a growth company is by surrounding yourself with people who can themselves grow.
* Tenacity and resolve are the hallmarks of success.
* View obstacles as opportunities.
* The only difference between a lesson and a mistake is the ability to learn from it.
* The definition of an investment should never be a trade gone awry.
* By the time you get to where you think you want to be, the journey will be over.
* Think positive.
