"Never buy anything from someone who is out of breath."
In 1980 I started dating the woman who would become my wife in 1981. My immediate work supervisor at the time was not shy about offering me the "life lessons" he'd learned, and one of his pieces of advice was for me to observe my wife's mother and pay attention to the way she treated my wife's father because, according to him, my girlfriend would attempt to treat me the same way. I had learned fairly quickly to pay attention to this supervisor because his observations were spot on at least 90% of the time, and when they weren't his conclusions weren't too far off the mark. And, sure enough, he was right this time too. She (my girlfriend) tried, but hadn't considered that I was not her father, and was not the type to simply "follow orders" as he generally did...unless I was getting paid to do so...at work, for example.
Anyway, we found our way, I let her have her way when the subject wasn't particularly important to me, and we will be celebrating our 40th anniversary as husband and wife later this year.

I recall older fellows with health problems telling me I would find myself in their condition should I continue in my ways, and that it would be wise of me to change certain habits while there was still time.
