HINDSIGHT GIVES YOU 20/20 VISION

By Vernalee

Reflecting and learning from what we have experienced can be our greatest teacher. Often times, we cannot discern the significance of an event while its occurring. However, once it is over, our viewpoints may become very enlightening. They may even be different from our original assessment once we take a reality spin. For example, what we may have once classified as rejection is now revealing itself as a re-direction. We can always see clearly once the rain is gone. It is then that we realize that looking back ... hindsight gives us 20/20 vision. We see things in the end that we didn't in the beginning. Better late than never!

IF YOU DON'T KNOW …ASK

By Vernalee

Don’t be afraid to ask if you don’t know. Knowledge always gives you power. Thus, if you ask a question you learn something and you are only a fool for a second but if you never ask, you are always a fool and you never learn anything.

All of us have made errors in judgments. As the kids ridicule, "We have played the fool." Further per Maya Angelou's advisement, “When you know better, do better.” I don’t know about you, but I’ll rather be a fool for a minute than for life. Can you hold on for a minute? I have a question to ask!

YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO

By Vernalee

“You can't have your cake and eat it (too) is a popular English proverb/figure of speech. The proverb is used to say that one cannot have two incompatible things, or that one should not try to have more than is reasonable. The proverb's meaning is similar to the phrases "you can't have it both ways" and "you can't have the best of both worlds." Choosing one or the other illustrates the concept of trade-offs or highlights that opportunity cost. Honesty and balance are critical to achieving your desired outcomes! For the record and for those inquisitive minds, as I facetiously take this to another level - caramel cake is my favorite! Yum!
