Life Can Be A Cliche

There's a reason for cliches... they're cliches because they are, more often than not, true.

Examples:

"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"
"Time heals all wounds"
"Growing like a weed"
"All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy" (or according to Stephen King, a psychotic killer)
"Asleep at the wheel"
"Better than a kick in the teeth"
"Busy as a one-legged man in an ass (butt) kicking contest"
"Take a picture, it will last longer" (see... true, right?)
"Time flies when you're having fun"
"Two wrongs don't make a right"

And on... and on....

But there's a reason they exist... because on some level they are true... if you google "cliches", you get some great sites, and even more little pearls of wisdom disguised as word play.

One of my favorites was a Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) quote:
"If you never tell a lie, you never have to remember what you said."

Ain't that the truth... and ya know... "truth is stranger than fiction"

So, don't sit there "twiddling your thumbs!" "Live each day as if it were your last," and get out there and "Play for the name on the front of your jersey, not the name on the back of your jersey". Because "You don't miss the water till the well runs dry" if "you snooze, you loose." So, "go for broke"... "a good beginning, makes a good ending"... "make no bones about it" "you got it coming to you... 'grab the bull by the horns" because "opportunity doesn't knock twice."
