Some Rules to Live By

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

I saw this posted in the comment section of the on-line edition of the Springfield State Journal-Register regarding a news story about Indiana Democrats who are hanging out in my home state of Illinois.   I thought they summed things up pretty well with respect to the Statehouse Stalemate.

1. Life isn’t fair.
2. You don’t always get what you want.
3. If you don’t like the situation you find yourself in but can’t change it, deal with it and don’t whine.
4. Nobody gets out alive.
5. Know when to quit, especially when you’re ahead.
6. Don’t take yourselves too seriously.
7. Perception is everything.
8. In a hundred years , it is doubtful any of this will matter , certainly not to us.
9. What goes around comes around.
10. Read Indiana Barrister and listen to Abdul weekdays from 6-9 a.m on Newstalk 1430 AM, WXNT.   (Okay, I admit to making that one up.)
