You are a great philosopher. For those of us whose birthday was way in the past, it is a good way to look at life.

PS. Incidently, I was impressed with your post on Chinese (and others)sayings. They are so simple, but true.



Thanks, Russ and Ray.

The quote isn't by me but by Buddha. So much for me being a philosopher.Ha! Ha!

I do have a heap of my own quotes and there's one -not really a quote -I made it up at spur of the moment in a kindergarten class years ago: "Even, even, 7-eleven!" which has somehow become very popular in schools all over Taiwan. I made it up because the game we were playing ended in a draw. If I'd known about its eventual popularity I would've copyrighted it. Couple of million down the drain! Ha! Ha!

Like I said in a previous quote, I have a weakness for quotes, sayings and proverbs and I especially like those by Buddha and Native-Americans. Perhaps (my love for quotes by Buddha)is because I'm a Buddhist but mostly because I love the simplicity of them although the message is very deep.

Here's two of my own:

A man loved by his wife and child(ren)is a wealthy man.

Appreciate your wife and she won't make demands.

(I always let my wife know how much I appreciate her. The returns are manifold. You can't love what you don't appreciate, right?)

Regards

Taike
