don't sweat the small stuff.

"Mind your own business"

"Avoid complex and or confusing relationships. If she hasn't told you she likes and wants you she probably doesn't."

A random old lady asked me a question, I answered her question. She then came back at me with "If you're wrong, can I pluck every pubic hair one at time from your body?" I said no, she laughed, I was scared.

Money doesn't buy happiness.

and

As a rule, man is a fool.
When it is hot, he wants it cool,
When it is cool, he wants it hot.
Never happy with what he's got,
Always wanting, what is not.

<Michael Scott>What's the most inspiring thing I ever said to you?</Michael Scott>
<Dwight Schrute>"You're an idiot. Changed my life."</Dwight Schrute>

This is what I thought of :) Can you tell I'm looking forward to the Office starting again?

As for real life ... my grandfather used to tell me to find work that I loved, and it would never seem like work.
