Blue Collar Wisdom

[Saluki]

One of my favorite parts of Married With Children was Al Bundy's blue collar wisdom. For example, at his 18th birthday at the strip club when  Bud gave his roll of money to the first woman he saw and was bored the rest of the night, he told his dad "this place sucks if you have you money." and Al replied "son, everyplace sucks if you have no money." 

 

I was thinking of a couple of others. "No one can do you your pushups for you." - My Soccer Coach in High School.

 

And when I used to kickbox my coach was fond of saying "If you're gonna punch somebody once, go ahead and punch them twice." 

 

What are some of your favorites?

"If you have to eat a frog, you don't want to stare at it too long."

 

"If you see a turtle on a fencepost, you can guarantee it didn't get up there by itself."

 

Both of these came from Zig Ziglar.

I recommend the book: "Excellent advice for living. Wisdom I wish I´d known earlier" from Kevin Kelly

 

"The very best thing you can do for your kids is to love your spouse."

"If someone is trying to convince you it´s not a pyramid scheme, it´s a pyramid scheme."

"Investing small amounts of money over a long time works miracles, but no one wants to get rich slow."
