True Sayings that Are True #Wisdom

By December 14, 2011Leadership

I’m the old guy on our team, so young whipper snapper leaders like Ben Reed, Adam Bayne and Brandon Reed love to mess with me at times.

Brandon loves to point me out in emails as the old guy, Adam recently squirted me with a super-soaker water gun (in front of a crowd of people), and Ben tweets funny things he thinks I say.

Recently Ben Tweeted, “Just heard @RonEdmondson say, “The reality is the reality.” #ProfoundWisdom”

Punk!

I’ve got more where those came from…just so you know!

Here are some true sayings that are true:

  • It is what it is…
  • If you get in the water you’re going to get wet…
  • You can only see what you can see…
  • If you touch a hot stove you’re gonna get burned…
  • You can only do what you can do…
  • If you ain’t got it…you ain’t got it…
  • You didn’t lose it if you never had it…
  • The truth is the truth…
  • A lie is a lie…
  • You’ll end up where you’re headed…

I know…deep right? You’re mesmerized, aren’t you?

Seriously, the older I get, the more I realize that no matter how many truths we think we know…we don’t always really know them. 🙂

One of my most quoted favorite verses in Scripture is Ecclesiastes 11:3:

If the clouds are full, they will pour out rain on the earth; whether a tree falls to the south or the north, the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.

Sometimes the obvious truth is the deepest truth. After all, if it’s true…it’s true.

Listen to me young leader…there’s wisdom in them there words. 🙂

What would you add to my list? What’s an obvious true saying that is true?
