Some thoughts to share to someone just in case someone needed it

If I die today and I can leave a few last thoughts to my kids, lines that I have proved in my life to be true and which I want them to treasure as their own, they would be these lines:

1. To gain respect, exceed expectations.
2. To gain territory, grab it with both hands. Nobody will give it to you.
3. Sex is fun. Until you start thinking of babies.
4. The "ideal kids" you think of don't exist. It's similar to the "Ideal Wife/Husband." It's really just wishful thinking.
5. A reputation for integrity is the single most powerful asset any person can have. It is more powerful than a college degree, an office title, good looks, or intelligence. When a man with integrity speaks, absolutely everybody listens, including the GM.
6. You can't change anybody else. Change comes from within the person. He must first want to change before anyone can help him change.
7. Miracles really do happen. Period.
8. The faintest hope is more powerful than even the darkest of darkest despair. Even sometimes when love fails all around you, hope is enough to make you move on.
9. Agnosticism is the sorriest state of (dis)belief, not atheism. It is despicable in its laziness.
10. There is a God. And He can crack really funny jokes sometimes.
