True Power

~ Gottfried

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large gatherings. They can alter the trajectory of four years of your life. With great power comes an even greater electricity bill. If you let out of a loud fart and someone hears you, just yell “Jet Power” and start running. 

I’m not lazy, I turned off my data. Never underestimate the power of funny, it moves mountains. Funny is a good foil. Humor is illuminating, and it also gives you power. A river cuts through a rock, not because of its power but because of persistence. 

Calmness is a cradle of power. Power is a funny thing. Sometimes you can just take it. There is power in looking silly and not caring that you do. No one is a drunk with power as a toddler who’s just learned to use a spoon. Personality has power to uplift. 

In a power outage, the first step is admitting that you are powerless. We had a power outage last night. My laptop, TV and PlayStation all shutdown, so I had to talk to my wife for a few hours. She seems like a really nice person. I should talk to her more. 

Behind every successful woman is herself. The only time a woman is powerless is when her nail polish is drying. Other than that, watch out. In beer, there is freedom, in wine there is health, in cognac there is power, and in water there is bacteria. 

Power does not corrupt people. People corrupt Power.  Some people still think knowledge is power. If knowledge is power and absolute power corrupts, why do they send is to school? Knowledge is power is a better slogan than knowledge is anxiety inducing. 

If your phone doesn’t ring, it’s me.
