Golden Words ~ Understanding Women

I continually receive emails that have golden words of wisdom and I can't think of anything better than to share them with you so my cup doesn't get too full and block these resources from having a place to rest to continue their endless works of passing on some food for thought and hopefully wisdom to help:

The Wisdom of Man Trying to Understand Woman


9 Words that Women Use and What They REALLY Mean

1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument and you need to shut up.


2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end with fine.

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.

8. Whatever: is a woman's way of saying F__You.

9. Don't Worry About It, I Got It: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response, refer to #3.

If men could remember this terminology, it could save them many arguments.

"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved." Quoted from a post on facebook 1/12/2010

"Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom. " - Samuel Taylor Coleridge


"Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand." - Saint Thomas Aquinas


"He who hesitates ~ is poor." - Mel Brooks


It was discovered, from a documented, extensive study of longevity, that 90% of the most cheerful quarter of participating subjects were alive at age eighty-five versus only 34% of the least cheerful quarter . . . moral?. . . Don't Worry, Be Happy! A (ITEM OF INTEREST: By the way, it also noted. . . psychology has badly neglected the positive side of life, for every one hundred journal articles on sadness, there is just one on happiness.)


"Positive emotion alienated from the exercise of character leads to emptiness, to inauthenticity, to depression, and, as we age, to the gnawing realization that we are fidgeting until we die."

"Never give up

Develop the heart

Too much energy in your country is spent

Developing the mind instead of the heart.

Be compassionate not just to your friends but to everyone

Be compassionate.

Work for peace in your heart and in the world.

Work for peace and I say again

Never give up.

No matter what is happening,

No matter what is going on around you,

Never give up."
~The Dalai Lama~
