Mind Blown

Wow! Is it ever! 

Who are these people who borrow money for toys and vacations? Do they not pay attention to a little thing called interest? 

Interest on a loan is a great thing - when you're the one collecting it.

Conroyisms – Part 7

  • Always lead with love.

  • Self-actualized people can spot each other in a crowded room.

  • Do you want my assessment of your unsolicited advice or shall I spare your feelings?

  • If the other party in a discussion leads with their feelings leave the discussion with good-mannered expediency.

  • Productivity equals self-esteem while a lack of productivity equals death of the human spirit.

  • No government sponsored social program has ever created self-esteem.

  • You are unique, just like everyone else.

  • Expectations are critical: too low and your abilities are squandered; too high and your happiness is impossible.

  • Apparently, every society has to try progressivism/socialism/communism at least once to see if it might work this time.
