Signs I'd Like To See

At a restaurant: 

If you wish to dine at this establishment, you will have to turn off all devices before entering. 

At a sports stadium: 

Please take your litter as you leave and place it in the rubbish bins at the exit.

At a supermarket:

Please return your trolley to the correct location. 

In any public space: 

If you need to talk on the phone, understand that the rest of us don't want to hear it. 

At a busy boat ramp:

Be aware that others are waiting for you to move.

In a kitchen:

Do not leave your dirty dishes here. Others are not your servants. 

Being Successful

A good time does not have to cost a lot of money. A nice place, good company and some simple food may be the best time we will have.

When a person receives a warning of an impending disaster, the key difference between being either a survivor or a victim is not necessarily the gravity of the danger. It's more likely the response taken to the warning. 

If swimming at a beach with some rips, how good a swimmer we are is less important than following the guidance of the lifeguards.

A good skier who goes off-piste may be in greater danger than a lesser skier who stays on a groomed and patrolled slope.

A happy relationship's durability isn't based on physical attributes or similar tastes. More important is how we treat our significant other, with love, respect and yielding when there is no important reason not to. If both do that, then harmony should be much more likely. 

A fast runner may not win if they exceed their ability to maintain a certain speed. Pacing one's self realistically is a more successful strategy.

Simple Thoughts

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

We should learn from the past, but we shouldn't live in it.

We can't change what's happened, but we can influence what's going to happen.

Try to shape the future into being the best it can be. 

Take a step back and see the bigger picture.

What we can't find might be right in front of us. 

The cost of making money shouldn't come at the expense of what's important. 

Money is a protection, but it can also be damaging.  

Life is a gift if we keep our eye simple.

Things that are truly valuable are not complex.
