To the world, you may be just one person;
but to one person, you may be the world!

Measure wealth not by the things you have, but by the
things you have for which you would not take money.

If you bring macaroni and cheese to a covered dish supper,
don't expect to dine on lobster and filet mignon.

A coffee grinder on sale at a 90% discount is
not a great buy if you don't drink coffee.

If you like these thoughts, you'll probably also like my book, Dad's Lessons for Living, It has 365 insightful ideas including 44 proven pointers for managing your money and investments. Full-page humorous illustrations are by Wayne Kaneshiro whose drawings alone are worth the price of the book. You'll find words of wisdom such as:

Don't take your friends for granted.
You can never have too many bungie cords, AA batteries, or rolls of duct tape.
Avoid lawyers.
Be skeptical. Lousy logic in a great sounding slogan is still lousy logic.
Never invest in an idea you can't illustrate with a crayon.
