Watch Carefully

“An author doesn’t die of typhus but of typos.”   -I.B. Singer What brings us into darkness changes from person to person.  That is why an off-handed word, which means nothing to us, may highly insult someone.  It is vital to choose words carefully and pay close attention to how people react to us.

Differences

Yankel : “Congratulate me! My wife gave birth to a ten-pound girl!” Butcher: “Including the bones?” A point of reference will differ from person to person.  We all have different priorities and values.  The key to healthy living is accepting those differences in others.

Wisdom

In the face of all life’s questions, what do we need in order to choose wisely? We need the sensitivity of a stethoscope, the stability of a gyroscope, and the vision of a telescope. -anonymous
