Calhoun's 10 Rules For Winning And Wortwhile Life
« on: June 16, 2023, 08:25:41 AM »
Taught to Calhoun early age by my adoptive 1/2 Chinese Uncle.

Uncle says even atheists can benefit from following.

Applies to handicapping as well as daily life.

1. Before you talk - Consider
2. Before you pray - Believe
3. Before you speak - Listen
4. Before you spend - Earn
5. Before you react - Think
6. Before you play - Work
7. Before you take - Give
8. Before you run- Walk
9. Before you quit - Try
10. Before you die - Live

As an aside, my Uncle is not well and we are doing hospice at home here in Oak Bluffs. 

I'm going to ask him to post a little bit here... he can be hard to follow but so what.

If you can, please pray for him.  If you cant, please just wish him well.

Wise words indeed. In a similar fashion my grandpa taught me the same philosophy when I was very young. I use it everyday and it's served me well.

One of the best: Before you react: THINK!

That has saved my ass many times

Before Calhoun became a 1/4 ton lesbian shaved gorilla he should of learned to take it in the ass properly with 14" wooden strap on dildo!

Where's my prize bitch!   ;D

  • Bitter Truth: That Golden Tempo , I'm afraid is  a money burner. Gets so far back. Was in range but just hung and raced even in the stretch. Didn't see a Derby winner in there in my opinion.
