Before You Criticize Someone

Before you criticize someone, 

you should walk a mile in their shoes. 

That way, when you criticize them, 

you're a mile away and you have their shoes. 

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. 

Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat 

and drink beer all day. 

If you lend someone a thousand Naira and never see that person again, 

it was probably worth it. 

Never miss a good chance to shut up. 

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. 

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. 

Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. 

Do not walk beside me, either; 

just leave me the heck alone. 

It's always darkest before dawn. 

So if you're going to steal your neighbour's newspaper, 

that's the time to do it. 

Don't be irreplaceable; if you can't be replaced, 

you can't be promoted. 

No one is listening until you make a mistake. 

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. 

It may be that your sole purpose in life is 

simply to serve as a warning to others. 

It is far more impressive when others 

discover your good qualities without your help. 

If you tell the truth, 

you don't have to remember anything. 

Some days you are the bug, 

some days you are the wind shield. 

Good judgement comes from bad experience, 

and a lot of that comes from bad judgement. 

There are two theories to arguing with women, 

Neither one works. 

Generally speaking, you aren't learning much 

when you are talking or when your mouth is moving instead of your ears listening. 

Never miss a good chance to shut up. 

Experience is something you don't get 

until just after you need it.
