The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again,and expecting a different result each time" It's not me... I dont know who said it.
Del Boy's trading/business quotes
Del Boy: I see ICI dropped a point.
Rodney: Yeah. Chelsea dropped three on Saturday
Rodney: [to Del] You were declared bankrupt. You have been banned from running any company from sitting on any boards or dealing with any shares. They don't even want you past the Stock Exchange on a bike! And you owe the Inland Revenue over £50,000.
Del Boy: Don't worry, Rodney. This time next year, we'll be millionaires!
Rodney: This time last WEEK we were millionaires!
Del Boy: He who dares Rodney, he who dares.
Mike Fisher: [Del and Rodney are trying to sell Mike a computer] What exactly does that mean?
Del Boy: Well it means you can... you can... tell him what it means, Rodney.
[to Mike]
Del Boy: He's taken a course in this, he came top of his class.
Rodney: Well, in 'layman's' terms it means you can, em, well, you er, you can record all your business deals.
Mike Fisher: I spend half my life trying to hide my business deals. So the last thing I want is to have 'em all recorded on a floppy bloody disc! I'm not interested. Ask Trigger.
Rodney: Trigger? With a computer? Do me a favour, he's still struggling with light switches!
Del Boy: Oh, no, Raquel. You must never lose sight of your dream! When I was 18, I decided I was gonna be a millionaire by the time I was 21.
Raquel Turner: Really?
Del Boy: Yep... and when I was 21, I said I'd be a millionaire by the time I was 30... and when I was 30...
[referring to the biscuits]
Del Boy: Fancy a Jammy-Dodger?
Rodney: [after getting his old job back at Trotters Independent Traders] What will be my title?
Del Boy: We'll call you Lord Rodney!
Rodney: I meant company title!

I'm having trouble believing this DB quote. Is it for real or some tabloid fib?
I'm stunned. :-0

I've seen the video footage
:!:To be fair to the lad, it would be an easy mistake to make. Afterall, why should a football kicking kid from inner city London know that the word christened directly refers to Christianity?
I bet many "educated" people have failed to recognise the relationship between these two words (including me at first
).

Not too sure if this belongs in quotes or jokes
Anyway, this gave me a little chuckle. A member of T2W suggested that I read "Trading for a Living" by Elder Alexander. I was rather amused by his comments on black boxes under the "Computerised Technical Analysis" section, my page 118.

Trading with a black box is like having sex using a penile implant -- you may deceive your partner for a while, but you will never deceive yourself.
interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked
“If you have the time” I said.
God smiled
“My time is eternity”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”
“What surprises you most about humankind?...”
God answered...
“That they get bored with childhood. They rush to grow up and then long to be children again.”
“That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health.”
“That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.”
“That they live as if they will never die, and die as if they had never lived.”
God’s hand took mine and we were silent for awhile
And then I asked...
“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”
God replied with a smile
“To learn they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is let themselves be loved.”
“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”
“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.”
“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and it takes many years to heal them.”
“To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.”
“To learn that there are persons who love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings.”
“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.”
“To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others. But that they must forgive themselves.”
"Thanks you for your time," I said humbly.
"Is there anything else
“And to learn that I am here always here for you!.”

An omniscient god could hardly be surprised by his creations' idiosyncrasies as he would presumably have seen them coming.
The owners of the 'theinterviewwithgod' web site clearly take a similar view of their clients, disguising their hard-nosed business with the sugar of sentimental nonsense sprinkled liberally over the cereal of false concern for others. A calculated cynical ploy that nearly always works, unlike that awful simile.
Here we can see this idea encapsulated perfectly in pictorial form.
He is of course the founder. One imagines a single handshake could provide enough oil to heat chump's mansion for a week.
"Our mission is to make a positive contribution to the well-being of our world, and to be a major and measurable force for good on the World Wide Web, by creating experiences of inspiration that warm the heart and touch the soul."
Nothing to do with selling their range of "inspiring gifts" or investment opportunities then. Of course not. "Our shareholders enjoy the opportunity to help bless the lives of millions of people world wide, and also receive a nice return on their investment upon exit". LOL ... the power of compound ignorance. I only wish CarKeyBoi was here to give his opinion.
Ah, it's the quote thread, sorry:
"Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."
Good ole Douglas Adams
