Dearest Rafi,
Today is your birthday and therefore, in the time-honored tradition of our family, it is time to receive some pearls of wisdom that is passed down from one generation to another.
Yay!
This year, lets discuss : Talk/ Ideas Vs. Behavior.
Raf, when you break it down to the brass tacks, talk is cheap.
Talk is just sound coming out of open mouths.
Ideas are just talk rolling around in our heads.
These ideas may escape from our lips as Blah!Blah!Blah! once in a while.
Action, Behavior, What you DO- that is what maketh man or woman.
So, just because the dude in the fancy sneakers , with the fancy manners and the fancy Ferrari says that he is a good person, it may not necessarily be so.
Conversely, an inarticulate, poorly educated, scratch- my-balls-in-public guy , CAN be the REAL DEAL.
It's possible.
Now, when it comes to girls, here's the 411:
When a girls says she likes you, but her actions don't compute- RED FLAG!
When a Beautiful Bombshell is super sweet to you and super mean to others- RED FLAG!
When a Cute Chick tells you she is honest and you hear her lying to her friends- RED FLAG!
It's what you do that REVEALS the kind of person are.
So, pay attention to what people do, more than what they say.
That way you can tell the Quality people from the Poseurs.
Here is our birthday wish for you:
May you be blessed with knowing Quality, Real Deal People all your Life, dearest Rafi!
May you be loved, supported, cheered - on, respected, and admired by Truly Good People.
Theirs is the only respect worth having, after all.
You will meet some fakes in your life. It is inevitable.
But let them go gently.
That's right. Gently.
Because that is what Good Men Do.
And we can already tell, that you are a GOOD MAN.
With all our love on your Birthday,
the good peeps of your famfam (that may or may not include two public farters, and a syjucocrownjewels-scratcher:)
