For what it's worth

[Alan Roehrich]

Having cancer will give you an entirely different perspective on many things.........



If you're involved in sportsman drag racing, especially class racing, and you're NOT making life long friends, you're doing it wrong, and you're missing out. And no one wins enough to make it worth it. It's a family. I've got a few life long friends, and respect among my peers.



If you're not Warren Johnson, Bill Jenkins, Jere Stahl, or truly of their caliber, you're neither good enough, or smart enough for your advice to come with arrogance, rudeness, or the belief that you're omnipotent.


If you have to tell people how great you are, you aren't. At all. You're not even close.



You simply don't have to respond to everyone. You don't have to engage in conversations or arguments with people you have a mutual dislike and disrespect for. It's not worth it.


Never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.


If you argue with an idiot, they might just drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.


If you wrestle with a pig in the mud, you'll just get muddy, and sooner or later, you'll figure out, the pig likes it, it's his idea of a good time.


You cannot win an argument with a fool, or an idiot, who ignores facts, logic, data, or experience.


If you manage to convince someone they've been lied to or defrauded, they'll be more angry with you than they will with whoever deceived or defrauded them.


If you lack the control to ignore a clown who baits you, whose fault is that?


Censorship has never been a good solution. Nor has it actually won an argument.


The wise man listens, to learn. The fool hears, to argue.


If you allow a jerk to ruin a good time, or make you forsake a place you like, you've lost far more than he has.


People who make fools and arses of themselves come and go, we've had plenty of them here.


Y'all think about it.
