Life is like a house of cards. You just get all the cards perfect and then the wind comes along and blows it all away.

So very true (unfortunate),:(.
A good one, have to keep it in mind.

In all things, but particularly card house building, it's impossible to control all the environmental conditions, and at times they do cause problems. What's important is getting the things you can control right, building on solid foundations.

Also, using glue helps ;)

I suck at building houses out of cards. Ironically, the only time I've ever managed to do it well was the night I sat in the kitchen and watched the World Trade Centre towers crumble to dust. While my card houses got higher and higher and never wavered.

I was speaking metaphorically. I gave up building actual card houses years ago... bout the same time I realised you can make money with cards :)

So use metaphorical glue ;P

My version would be ALMOST getting it perfect before it gets fucked!
