Two Things

It has been said that for every subject, there are really only two things you really need to know. Everything else is the application of those two things, or just not important. Here are some of my favorites I found and some that I penned:

The Two Things about Trading:
1. Buy low.
2. Sell high.

The Two Things about World Conquest:
1. Divide and Conquer.
2. Never invade Russia in the winter.

2: 1

1. Never sacrifice comfort for style.
2. Never sacrifice style for comfort.

1. Bring overwhelming force to bear.
2. Let them hate, so long as they fear.

The Two Things about Working with Building Materials:
1. Wood is key.
2. Don't giggle like a 12-year-old when the "L" is not pronounced in caulk.

The Two Things about the Bible:
1. The Old Testament describes a lot of rules and laws we must follow to be allowed into heaven.
2. The New Testament tells us how Jesus died so we can break all those old rules and laws and still get into heaven.

1. Hit.

1. Don't beam down in a red shirt.
2. You can always talk evil computers into destroying themselves.

The Two Things about Diamonds:
1. Know the 4 C’s (carat, clarity, color, and cut).
2. Like women, each diamond is unique and special in nature.

The Two Things about Being a Sports Commentator:
