This is from one of those cheesy emails that people send out with thoughtful messages. And guess what? I cheesy like that too! So, a few words of wisdom...................I've learned -

You just posted a feel good email. OMG. What next? You're going to post that you are actually the caretaker of the estate of a wealthy Nigerian General and you need my help to transfer the assets of his estate?
Of course I kid with you!
Some of these are pretty depressing, though. This isn't as warm and fuzzy as I thought. I think one of my favorites is:
"that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something"
So many people fail miserably at that one and it really, really isn't that hard to do. All you need to know is your own limits and talents and exploit them after you charm your victim...er...target...uh...other person.
Now go out there and find me the Charlie Brown "Happiness Is A Warm Puppy" book. ;)
