Gunner's Code, part 2


31.             What you look for, that’s mostly what you wind up finding.

32.             Injustice requires people of good character to say nothing and do nothing.
  
33.             When you realize you’ve dug yourself right into a hole, the first thing to do stop digging.

34.             Cultivate gratitude.  It’s not money or possessions or prestige that makes life worth living, it’s being

35.             “Making love” and “having sex ”are not the same things.  They both have their delights, but given the choice, you can build a life on the first one.

36.             The person that has the problem is the person that has the solution.  Others can help you gain perspective, but only you can solve your problems.

37.             Wash your hands.  When you think about everything your hands have touched today, do you really want to smear that on her?

38.             If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

39.             Feelings are like icebergs, what you see is the 10% on the surface.  Take the time to discover the 90% that isn’t showing.

40.          Most of the big lessons in this life are simple, but few are easy.

41.          I’m not a “friend” to the herd, and I won’t be herded by my “friends”.

42.          Fix problems, not people.

43.          My Dad always said: “Never wrestle with a pig.  You both get covered in sh_t, and the pig likes it.”

44.          Sad but true: show me a good-looking woman and I’ll show you a guy that’s tired of doing her. 

45.          Lots of times it’s my “Boy Scout” training that serves best.  That oath still applies.
  
46.          There are two kinds of people: people who think there’s two kinds of people and people who don’t.

47.          It’s true what they say: fortune favors the bold.

48.          It’s often hard to tell the difference between falling and flying…until the landing.

49.          We’re all in this together and we’re each in this alone, and nobody is going to get out alive.

50.          Mostly, sleep is over-rated.  You’ll sleep a long time when you’re dead.

51.          If God meant us to spend our lives alone He only would have made one person in the first place.

52.          In the movies, a fast way to show a character is angry is to have him get in a fist-fight.  In life, a fast way to demonstrate your immaturity and general lack of good sense is to get into a fist-fight.

53.          Everyone has an off-day now and again.

54.          It’s OK to feel angry, hurt, sad, frightened and/or ashamed.  Humans are born with the circuitry to feel these things hard-wired into our brain.  Trying to not feel them will only make things worse.

55.          If you want to be able to rely on it, then you had better take care of it.

56.          By and large, freedom isn’t free.

57.          After you get all done assigning the blame you’ve still got to fix the problem.

58.          Fix problems not people.

59.          Just because a billion flies like to eat sh_t doesn’t mean you have to.

60.          Sometimes, if you can just ignore it, it will pass.  Then other times, it just isn’t going to get better ‘til you get up and fix it.  Try one approach.  If it doesn’t work, try the other.

61.          Want to stop standing at the bar watching and waiting?  Learn to dance.

62.          Really important travel isn’t usually about getting somewhere it’s about getting to someone.

63.          “Lonely” is just “alone” plus “BS”.

64.          Aspiring to be “normal” is setting the bar way too low.

65.          Everybody poops.  That hot girl at the bar, that cowboy in the hand-tooled boots, the preacher, your mother, everybody.  I’m just sayin’.

66.          I learn a lot about a person from their handshake.  I learn more from their hug.
