the reason it drives me batty is that it doesn't give you predictions. it tells you stuff that you already know.
i guess you may not know that if you have no common sense. but i find that hard to believe for most people...most people...
my fortune cookie today tells me "none of the secrets of success will work unless you do."
really??? fortune cookies that lack fortunes are probably one of my biggest pet peeves. if they're going to give advice, then they should be called "advice cookies." or "things you should probably keep in mind cookies" or "don't be an idiot" cookies.
hmmm....i have an idea brewing....(and speaking of fortune cookies, one time tonya and i went to a halloween party in maryland. i had had trouble with the shirt i was wearing and asked her if it looked okay. when we got to the party they had...goodness, i can't remember what they called them...misfortune cookies? and mine said, "i can't believe you wore that shirt." no lie.)
that said, the sound piece of advice from this
i'm not talking about hard manual labor, but more the work that it takes to do something that may be new to you, like being open. like challenging beliefs. like doing one thing different every day.
emotional work. mental work. don't work too hard though, or you'll get a headache.
