Do we live our lives based on sayings and cliche’s?

Rest of Your Life Off asked the question:


This is intresting to me, I am a recruiter for a financial services company and I talk to many people everyday.. One saying I keep running into I like to call the” I’m fine” syndrome.They say ” I don’t like my job and I’m drowning in debt but I’m fine.”Another is,”I’m sorry I’m not intrested in a 6 figure opportunity,we have a union.”
I even had someone tell me it is illegal to pay off a mortgage.

So what do you think, do we have these sayings locked and loaded for the next time anyone challenges our comfort zone?
Also have some fun with this and tell me any sayings or cliche’s
that drive you nuts..

    I hate cliche’s. Oprahesque sayings are for soap opera queens.

    Best to read the gospels, Proverbs, 1 John and 1 Corinthians.

    Since you are a recruiter, for financial services, which I would take as sales (insurance, securities etc…). You say the person is not interested in a 6 figure opportunity…this is based on how well they do. You know as a recruiter, if I was correct above that ins., securities has a very high turn over, year 1,2,3, and if you make it past year 4 you are probably in for good. Some people are scared of making any types of change, if they have something to fall back on…like a pension. The people who are drowning in debt, no matter how much money they would make, they would always be in debt.

    But a cliche that I hate is, people who want to be able to retire, but they do not want to take the steps to do so. They say I can’t do anything now, or I’ll focus on that later, then they never do and are a drain on the economy.
