Fortune Cookie Truths

Every time I have Chinese food  after I've read my fortune from my cookie I put the slip of paper into a pocket in my wallet.  I've been doing this for about four years now.  

Today I decided to pull the fortunes out and take a look at what I had.  After leafing through them I've come up with a couple of inevitable truths.

1.  Like snowflakes there are no two fortunes the same.

2.  Some such as, "Gold is in your future" are empty promises either that or my definition of what constitutes gold is too limited.    

3.  Fortune cookies can give some really great advice, "Trust others, but still keep your eyes open."
