For many years, Esquire magazine has published a regular feature under this title. It has contained revelations that range from simple to sublime. These are mine...I'd love to hear yours.
It's a waste of
time to say, "There'll never be another Babe Ruth". Well of course there won't. There'll never be another George Washington,
Rosa Parks, or you, or me. We've
already had one of each, how many do we need?
Having a son will
make you a little boy again. Having a
daughter will make you a better man.
If all the women
in the world disappear tomorrow, you've received your last Christmas card.
The movie reviews
of a newspaper writer you trust is just one step below medical advice from a
good doctor. A bad recommendation from
either wastes your time and leaves you feeling worse than you did before.
If you're
contemplating an affair, you should know that the hottest sex you'll ever have
isn't with the woman on the side. It's
with a woman that can trust you completely.
With a good song,
you'll remember all the lyrics years after you last heard it. A great song will make you remember
who you were with when you first heard it.
Always wave back
to kids in the rear of a school bus.
When people call
the Three Stooges, Jerry Lewis or Adam Sandler comic geniuses, Stan Laurel
spins in his grave.
If you're not into
sports, scan the sports page anyway and find out who's playing and what
athletes are being talked about. You'll
be amazed how many friends you make by being able to say, "How 'bout that Miguel Cabrera, huh?"
Owning a dog does
not get you ready to have a child.
Owning a dog prepares you to own two dogs.
Father of rock -n-
roll? Satchmo.
While not the
creator of jazz music, he was its most important figure as an ambassador. By extension, he is the father of all
popular music. It's Armstrong to Bing
Crosby, to Dean Martin, to Elvis. Case
closed.
There's no price
tag on the phrase, "I'm sorry".
But what you'll get back by saying it is invaluable.
