One of the paths to happiness

I was thinking about famous people. Most of them had to fight against all odds to get to where they are right now. Most of them claim that they were put down in their quest towards fame, fortune and success. People said they couldn't do it but look who's laughing now.

So, I was wondering how do these pessimistic people feel when these guys prove them wrong. They were the ones who instilled the fire in their bellies. So my point is that they must be feeling like crap.

So my solution is, if u meet anyone who has such a fire don't ignite that fire in their bellies. Be supportive. Tell them that they can do it. The skys the limit. No guts no glory. And any other terrible pun you can think of. With all the optimism, the fire might not burn as bright and they probably won't make it big and you can rejoice in their failed dreams knowing that you have played a very important part.

Evil, aren't I?

please don't use this word

I get a bit peeved off when someone uses the word 'fag' for cigarettes. I know that in the British context thats OK but not really so in the American context. (for those who don't know, the word 'fag' refers to homosexuals)

Anyways, just listing some instances where it sounds awkward.

" So, how many do u fag in a day?"

" I thought u quit fagging?

" Mind if I borrow a fag?"

" Gimme a drag of your fag"

" Just stepping out for a fag, wanna come?"

" Dude, got any fags left?"
