Love Expands

Be able to live alone, even if you don’t want to and think you will never find it necessary.

My thoughts are like waffles – the first few don’t look so good.

Be able to cite three good qualities of every relative or acquaintance that you dislike.

Have enough sense to know, ahead of time, when your skills will not extend to wallpapering.

A person who learns to juggle six balls will be more skilled than the person who never tries to juggle more than three.

The chess player who develops the ability to play two dozen boards at a time will benefit from learning to compress his or her analysis into less time.

Common sense comes from experience, and kids need to fail as well as succeed in order to learn it. It’s difficult to develop common sense when you spend a lot of time in your room where nothing much happens.

Be able to set a table so that you feel like you’re dining, not just sitting and eating.

Play more than one game at a time. This is a painless way to learn how to do many things at once.

Success may be the ability to be happy with whatever we’re stuck with.

An error becomes a mistake when we refuse to admit it.

Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
