What's your favorite fortune cookie sayings?

[oyajicool]

Went to a Chinese restaurant last night. Got a fortune cookie.
It says "Professionalism is knowing how to do it, when to do it and doing it".

The last part of it hit me good. Thinking back about how I work here and there, I realize that there were few things I could have done better.

So, wondered if any you have or know some good ones that affected or hit you.

I had one that said,"You will find strength in loyalty" that really stuck with me.



Then there was another one the week before my 1st son was born,"Your life is changing for the better" and I really thought that was cool too. And, to be honest I have found strength in loyalty and my life did change for the better.


Im not sure that the cookies had shit to do with it, but it has always stood out to me as bizarre.

I wish I remembered what the phenomenon/trickery was called, but it's purely coincidence and all psychological. Just like with horoscopes (sorry to those of you who disagree).

That's cool that things worked out for you though; it's not really a bad thing if the cookie somehow psyched you out and did something good for you.

On topic: I want someone to post up about playing the lotto (and winning, of course) with the numbers on some fortune slips. That would make my day.

I think they are a big crock of shit.

First, I hate the taste of them.

Second, they are usually motivational quotes, not fucking fortunes.

"You will be hungry soon, order take out now"

LOL.

Well, it isn't the worst thing I have eaten, but when it comes to chinese food, im all about that Crab Rangoon.

I have no use for "Fortune Cookies".

They're not even fucking cookies?!?!?!

Biggest scam going if you ask me lol.

[reklipz]

Oh, really??

I know that's sarcasm, but you were supposed to see my reply as a whole, not in part. I was referring to the psychological trickery that makes the generalization seem specific and on point. Meh, I can't please everyone.

I think the cookies are pretty tasty, at least the ones I get locally with my food.
