Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.


Today’s Thought

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” – Steve Jobs

So far, so good!

Donna’s husband Mike died suddenly one day. Donna was taking care of the arrangements with the funeral home director when he asked how she wanted Mike’s obituary to read.

Donna inquired, “How much does an obituary cost?”

The director replied, “One dollar per word.”

Donna thought for a moment and said, “I want the obituary to read, ‘MIKE IS DEAD.'”

The funeral director was an old fishing buddy of Mike’s and he was a little disturbed by such a curt obituary, so he offered, “I’ll make you a special deal since I knew Mike so well. I’ll pay for half of the obituary out of my own pocket.”

Donna’s face lit up and she replied, “Great. I want it to read, ‘MIKE IS DEAD, BOAT FOR SALE.'”
