I've written about Dan Hentschel before, on SCHOOL DAYS. He's a local celebrity, a morning DJ on US94. His bio at their website says, "I've been waking people up on this planet for over 36 years!"
When I catch his morning show, it just cracks me up! He has a way of reaching his audience with humor that just makes the day start off right. I see he has a list of Basic Truths that he's learned over the years.
BIG DAN'S BASIC TRUTHS
1. You are NOT the center of your family - Your FAMILY is the CENTER of YOU.
2. HARD WORK pays off.
3. DAD was right.
4. The stuff they tell you on TV ain't necessarily so.
5. Your DOG loves you NO MATTER WHAT.
6. NEW isn't always better.

So, what do you think??? Maybe he's onto something!
I will try to do them all...except the last piece of pie!
ReplyDeleteAwesome advice there.. and it's true, your dog loves you no matter what. Loyal, true, giving openly with a complete heart. Something we should do more often.
ReplyDeletewith love and pass some pie my dear!

I see lots of wisdom there!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed these truths. They are so straight to the point and wise.

ReplyDeleteNow there's a man that is both wise & truthful. My kind of guy!, love the pie.
Have a beautiful day.
Hugs, Marydon
The hardest one for me would be old number 17...:D
ReplyDeleteAll of those should be doable for anyone. Hard for me to leave the last piece of pie, however. My husband wouldn't eat it, and by the time someone else came along who wanted it, it would be bad, and I would have to throw it out. So I might as well eat it myself!
ReplyDeletesounds like a pretty smart guy! #17 is so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteIf those a tart pie cherries, no one else is getting that last piece.
ReplyDeleteThe last one is the good one! In our tradition, we always leave the last piece for the one behind. Now, even my son would asked if anyone else would like to have the last piece. Otherwise, he'll eat it!
ReplyDeleteAll true, all good bits of wisdom. But the pie....the PIE, Joycee. It's really unfair of you to post a picture like that. Really, it's not. :p)
ReplyDeleteThose are cute!
