Words of Wisdom A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market. When you make a mistake and won't admit it, you've made two. Time tells on a man ? especially a good time! Oddly enough, the one who knows everything has the most to learn. The hardest thing there is to give is "in." Don't be afraid to be different. Your way may be the better one.
