This is easier than being brilliant…

It is easier to avoid stupidity than to attain brilliance.
Some people make stupid mistakes a habit.
Some do pretty well most times, then make big mistakes that set them back a good distance.
Avoiding mistakes is not hard if you think before you act and exercise self-discipline.
If you are not sure if it is a good idea, don’t do it.
(Not to be confused with good ideas that make you uncomfortable.)
If you know it’s a bad idea but you can’t help yourself, you are being stupid. Sometimes you will get away with it, and sometimes you will pay out of all proportion.
If you think you are about to say something that will put you in someone’s dog house, don’t say it.
If it sounds too good to be true – it is. Proceed accordingly.
If you are angry, keep your mouth shut.
Don’t drink and drive. Best not to drink much anyway.
If it feels good and you do it often, you are probably being stupid.
Don’t cancel your gains.
Avoid stupidity.

“If it feels good and you do it often, you are probably being stupid.”
best. line. ever. so many people think if it feels good, it is good. not the truth at all. and we would all do better if we all had more self-control, self-discipline and did what is RIGHT and not what FEELS good.
As I tell my kids when they are being boneheads, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!”
Truer words were never spoken! Sometimes just three seconds of extra thought can have a dramatic impact on the results!
Well said, as always. Thank you, Larry!
