Wisdom can walk in any door.

Sometimes it's from the pulpit. Sometimes it's from the White House. Rarely is it from television unless it's the Simpsons or from Don Draper, the creative director character on "Mad Men" who said, "Advertising is based on one thing: happiness". Then there is faux philosophy. I have a flyer before me that says: "Treat others with courtesy, respect and dignity and try not to pass judgement, with this philosophy in mind, I think we do a pretty darn good job". This is a promo flyer from a casino in Nevada. I would place a sign over the entrance that says, "Abandon hope all ye who enter here". Actually, the truest place to look is the humble fortune cookie. Here is a sample: The virtue lies in the struggle, not in the prize..Every exit is an entrance to new experiences..A focused mind is one of the most powerful forces in the universe..and one I really like: Compliment three people every day. If you remember the film "My dinner with Andre" you'll remember Wally asking Andre if a fortune cookie knows who is going to get it. Of course it does. Why just last week mine said, 'Your candid approach is refreshing". In the Peanuts strip Charlie Brown's sister Sally has three philosphies: "Who cares? "Life goes on" and "How should I know?" And when Charlie says they are "maybe a little too profound" Sally answers wisely: Who cares? How should I know? Life goes on!
