Does it get any better than Irish folk wisdom? I doubt it; but judge for yourself.
Imagine that you are relaxing with a friend, perhaps sipping a bit of whatever you like to sip, and your friend says, “May you live all the days of your life. May God grant you many years to live, for sure He must be knowing the earth has angels all too few and Heaven is overflowing. May the devil chase you every day of your life and never catch you; and may you get to Heaven a half hour before the Devil knows you're dead.” Now just how cool would that be? It would be way cool, down right Irish; but that’s not the end of it.
Your friend is Irish and would never let a few words suffice where more will do just as well. You savor the kind words as your friend continues, “May the sun shine, all day long, everything go right, and nothing wrong. May those you love bring love back to you, and may all the wishes you wish come true! May you have warm words on a cool evening, a full moon on a dark night, and a smooth road all the way to your door. May brooks and trees and singing hills join in the chorus too, and every gentle wind that blows send happiness to you, a sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.”
Sure, your friend is laying it on a little thick; but we are talking Irish here. Just enjoy the pleasant lilt and warm smile, being careful not to miss the mischievous twinkle in the eye that lets you know that your friend knows too. There is a dib more for your companionable moment, “May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you, and all your heart might desire. May you always have work for your hands to do. May your pockets hold always a coin or two. May the sun shine bright on your windowpane. May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend always be near you. And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you. May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day. May songbirds serenade you every step along the way. May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue. And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.” And my personal favorite, even though I’m not usually Irish, “May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it.”
Taking Care of Business
Have you ever had it stuck to you by one of those hit-and-run types whose motto is “Business is Business?” Their trick is to never depend on return customers and to never try to do business tomorrow where they setup shop yesterday. It is a strategy best suited to those whose bottom line is merely the bottom line.
If instead your bottom line depends on long-term relationships with your friends and family, customers and co-workers, be sure that they consistently get what they value and value what they get from you. The value factor is the key to a healthy bottom line.
