Tag: Fortune Cookie

YESTERDAY (Wednesday) for Lunch me and my brother and my sister-in-law ate at their favourite workplace Chinese Restaurant in the neighbourhood – a nice joint in far north Dallas called ‘Great China’ (see reviews on Yahoo !).

The food was delicious, and the restaurant itself was quite a bit upscale compared to what I’m used to at my favourite Chinese Restaurant joints back home. The customer service was outstanding, but that seems to be my general experience at most Chinese Restaurants.

I nabbed all three of our great fortune cookie messages, so here they are:

– ‘Now is the time for peace in your life. Go along with other’s ideas.’

– ‘A new relationship is about to blossom. You will be blessed.’

– ‘Approach all areas of life with a bold enthusiasm this year.’

Late this morning I enjoyed a hot and delicious Lunch courtesy of my all-time favourite take-out Chinese Food joint in the neighbourhood – Shanghai.

Here’s this week’s fortune cookie message:

– ‘Spectacular accomplishment is never preceded by less than spectacular preparation.’

I disagree somewhat with this one. You can over prepare for an event. The result can sometimes be just as bad – even worse – than a lack of sufficient preparation. Sometimes a little spontaneity can be that added touch that lifts something from standard to spectacular. Spectacular preparation is not always the key to success.

TODAY I went to my friendly workplace neighbourhood Chinese Food joint – Shanghai – to pick-up my usual paraphernalia – chicken with broccoli with pork fried rice and an egg roll. As usual it was ready within ’10 minute’. Oh yeah – and it was hot and delicious !

As a regular customer my dealer at Shanghai enabled me with 3 Fortune Cookies, so I present to you a ‘Triple Trifecta’ this week: 

– ‘Wealth is the ability to fully experience Life.’

– ‘Welcome each day as a fresh new beginning.’

– You will always be successful in your professional career.’
