Bob Hope Quote

Quote Of The Day

Bob Hope Quote:

Bob Hope Quote

What’s Up With Pooj?

Nothing, I’ve just been working and sleeping. Although, I was able to film a day in my life video which will hopefully be up soon. All I’ve been doing is watching the Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj feud unfold. I know a lot of you won’t care about it which is fine. But I was a big Nicki fan growing up and I love Meg’s music as an adult so it’s particularly interesting to me.

I wanted to share this Bob Hope quote today because it’s something I needed to hear. I’m someone who people may call a perfectionist. I like things to be perfect in my life and when things are even slightly imperfect I freak out. And that can make me a slightly ungrateful person sometimes. I think that I spend too much time working on what I want that I forget to appreciate what I have. Honestly, I’m very blessed. Do I have everything I want? No, of course not. I’m certain no one does, not even the billionaires. But I still have lots to be grateful for and I need to focus on that while I get to the place I want to be.

What I’m Listening To Right Now:

    Love the quote actually
    Very true. I hope we can actually follow it.

    But then humans are greedy 😛
    They forget what they have, they don’t appreciate it at all and later they cry over spill milk 😂

    I haven’t heard of Nicki minaz feud 🤷🏻‍♂️
    I’m not following much of the latest things. I only watch what’s available on Netflix 🫣. Yesterday I finished Skull Island it’s an animated show based on king kong (The big ape)
    Speaking of the
    I’m waiting for a movie called as
    Godzilla X kong, I’ll go to theatre for that, just for Godzilla’s roar 😌.

      Thanks so much. Harder to follow than we think. Yes, we’re greedy by nature. Always want what we can’t have. And once we get it, we want more.

      The Nicki feud has Hip Hop fans in a chokehold right now lol. Including myself 😅

      Haha yes, this prompt is no longer on my list 😜

    Perfectionism is a one way ticket to Hell, I swear. I’ve been down that same road as you and I kicked myself afterwards every single time. Getting pissed about what we can’t control is so much wasted energy.
    Great quote! All too true.

        I never liked Bob Hope maybe because my Father’s generation claimed to like him. I always thought that he took his bad jokes on his USO tours because the soldiers would laugh at anything. They were very happy to be able to rest and enjoy entertainment.
        What a person, addicted to drugs, living on the streets, has is a fear of death. They are not grateful for what they have. Once in a while they help a rich person to feel noble if that person gives them a sandwich. For a second, they might be grateful they they can help out a rich person. Mostly they are not grateful to fear death.They’d rather not. I don’t know that Bob Hope could have, in the style of a War joke, made a joke about drug addiction. There are jokes about “the enemy” I suppose that he made during his USO Entertainment tours that provided entertainment to troops during World War 2. And there is “gallows humor.” I suppose those who have a sense of humor might be grateful for that. But it requires the right audience. Well, I suppose many of the songs written during the Great Depression were like a joke — such as “Happy Days Are Here Again.” And there’s that movie “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” Wow, talented writers have a lot to be grateful for. The untalented not so much.

      I guess that makes sense, we often don’t like what older generations do. It’s all about our personal taste I guess.

      I love that quote. To be remembered as a honest person, especially in this day and age, is truly something. True, many of us want to pretend that we’re truthful but is what we believe to be the truth the actual truth.

    As for the feud, I always suspect they are half-fake just to get attention.

      It’s legit one of the craziest beefs to happen recently. When I first heard Hiss my jaw was on the floor and Nicki just absolutely losing it is so crazy. I’ve been listening to Hiss since it dropped lol.

    I like the quotation by Bob Hope. Like many quotations that we quote, it’s inspirational. But I think its strength is in its practicality; these are words to apply rather directly. I can appreciate perfectionism, which I’m trying to relax from as a style, while keeping it where I think it belongs (say in the quality of work, hopefully in a healthy(?) way). About the feud–quite frankly, Pooj, I’m glad to have other musicians to think about. This week here it’s all Taylor Swift, all the time. I do hope the feud works out, as most feuds should work out. Maybe my own feud with Taylor S will work out. Not much (otherwise) is happening with me. I’m trying to learn the new-to-me car as well as a new smartphone. And I need to reschedule some medical things I missed while away. I hope January ends really well for you.

      I understand, Taylor Swift has been annoying me for a hot minute. Be careful you don’t get attacked by Swifties, they will try to take you down for speaking on Taylor.
      I’m not a fan of learning new things but hope it goes well for you. Hope everything goes well medically and you’re able to reschedule your appointments. And hope January ends really well for you too.
