Constructive Criticism
Criticism must be sympathetic, or it will completely miss the mark; but it must also be dispassionate and relentless.

Please pass the tissues
Every once in a while we just need a good cry. Right? No, says a researcher at the University of South Florida. Or at least, tears are not enough by themselves. Jonathan Rottenberg says his new study shows there’s not as much of a benefit to crying as people would believe. Instead, he suggests it’s sympathy that can make people feel better. Bolstering social connections and laying the groundwork for empathetic relationships may serve as the best way to prepare for that burst of bawling. Instead of just weeping, we need someone to offer a hug and an ear.
Details of the study are in the Journal of Research in Personality.

Apple Seeds
Anyone can count the number of seeds in an apple. It takes imagination to count the number of apples in a seed.

Wasting Time
Almost every man wastes part of his life in attempts to display qualities which he does not possess, and to gain applause which he cannot keep.

Deep Roots
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

Defining Yourself
All my life, I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see that I should have been more specific.
