We judge ourselves by our intent.
Others judge us by our behavior.

discuss amongst yourselves

Pep <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I would definatley have to agree with that statement. We judge ourselves by what we intend to do, but since others cant read our minds to find our intent, they can only judge by behaviour.

what's to discuss... you are so right.

I never thought about this before, but I have often tried to find intent before I've judged behavior... this just messes everything up. If you want to be judged well then behave well.

One of my main credos...

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS....

Regardless of the WS' INTENT, his/her actions are most crucial...

Same is true for US..the BETRAYED...

Plus, in our minds, we often fool and delude ourselves with our self-protective rationalizations and justifications...I know I do...

In Texas we just say "TALK IS CHEAP!" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I just saw a New Yorker cartoon (p.82 of the Nov 13 edition) and thought of you Mel, LOL.

It was labeled, TEXAS DASHBOARD ORGANIZER

and included spaces for SNUFF, CHIPS, SALSA, GUITAR PICK, HANDGUN and PIE...


Do you have one of those in your pickup?

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Who wrote that? I found the quote in several places....but even though it's in quotations....nobody is giving the authors name. Jack Azzaretto has a really similar quote "We judge others by their actions, and we judge ourselves by our intent." ...but I don't know if he's the author of both.

Hey, I need one of those!

Yep Mel, you need something to hold all that PIE!!! ROTFLMAO!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I'm SO tellin'!!!

Mrs. W <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

donno

I heard it at a conference I went to Friday
I liked it so much I wrote it down

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Now, you know I don't eat PIE, MrsW, I am on Atkins!! DUH! Those are PORK SKINS in my truck right next to my pistola! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Speaking of funny things that Texans would like, the other day I saw a bumper sticker.

"If you oppose logging, use plastic toilet paper."

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Pep,

Haven't seen you around much. I like that quote alot.

Mel: You said

RIGHT?

Do you know why I seek out ALL of you for advise????

your posts total over 91,000.

Now I do not have the time to read 91,000 posts so I look for and ask this great group for advise.

thanks for all all of you have done.

This is my new credo as well.

So,

Should we learn to judge ourselves by our behavior, and others by their intent, or leave it alone?

SS

So our behavior should line up with our intent - we should be authentic.

whatever you like my dear

Someone has been hanging around the stockyards in Texas! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I was raised at the race tracks [and around bookies] and the saying over there was "money talks and bullsh** walks!" **snort** <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

U counted!??!?!? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

L.

Sadly, my intent is almost always misunderstood through my behavior. I'm always saying, I'm so misunderstood. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I tend to blame others for their interpretation, maybe it's time to change the behavior, so my intent comes across as intended. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm at work - what else am I going to do???

My own version of that credo:

"Actions speak. Words don't."

I intend to lose 50 lbs. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Others judge me by my behavior (or lack there of)

Others see me as I am (unfortunately)

I judge myself as the hardbody I will be (someday?)

For comparisons sake...what's the market on "warm spit" these days?

Just recently, in fact, I picked up some "cool" spit at "Peter Pickles Place". The store greeter said "Hello Sir, welcome to Ppppeter Ppppickles Pppplaccce...we've got a great sale on Sssally'sss Ssseassshell Pppasta". I didn't even request a free sample of her saliva but she gave it to me anyway. There was no price listed so I guess, in hindsight, I should have immediately asked "What'ssssss the PPPPrice PPPPPoint on the Ssssspittttt". The information would have been really helpful with fully comprehending this analogy....I mean...I don't get the reason "warm" spit is the lowest value...is chilled spit premium priced???

astroglide

AMEN!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

The inventor of Astroglide, Dan Wray, discovered it while working on the cooling system of a space shuttle at Edwards Air Force Base in 1977. This association with aerospace was responsible for the name of the brand.

OMG, WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS HE DOING IN THAT COOLING SYSTEM?? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I just looked up astroglide on wikipedia ... and found this aerospace trivia gem (I thought 2Long would enjoy this)

bwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaah. Organization. yes, I guess you could call it that.

I attended the annual event this past March with my coworker plus 5 new girls from out of state.

Apple Computer announced today that it has developed a computer chip that can store and play high fidelity music in women's breast implants. The iTit will cost $499 or $599 depending on speaker size.

This is considered to be a major breakthrough because women have always complained about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.
