Common Sense, Where Are You?

The three great essentials to achieving anything worthwhile are; first, hard work, second, stick-to-it-iveness, and third, common sense.- -- Thomas Edison

I agree, but where has common sense gone? It seems to have flown the coop in most of the places I go. Apparently, common sense isn't so common.

  3. Tracie - They walk amongst you, too? LOL It sort of goes along with Linda's expression, "spirit of stupid." LOL

    Mervi - that book sounds interesting. I'll have to look it up.

  4. Amen! It seems like people either over analyze or don't think at all. Maybe with our nearly all electronic world we are loosing some of the most important assets in life... common sense!

  8. LOL. True! I heard a story that reminded me of that. A lady went to McDonalds and ordered half a dozen chicken nuggets. The guy behind the counter said they didn't sell half a dozen, but she could get 6. lol

  9. Jennifer - you have to pray for me because that is the kind of stuff that tries my spirit. LOL The story about the nuggets rates with the story Rochelle had on her blog about the plain pretzel at Target.
