#  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #

1  Accept the fact that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue!

3  Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
4  Drive carefully… It’s not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
5  If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
6  If you lend someone  Rs 1000 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
7 It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
8  Never buy a car you can’t push.
9  Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.
