Lesson plans for life

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, tell me the future, and that's not all;

-       I want to know what will come next;
-       I want to know the who, when, and how.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, why do you not speak; tell me the answers to the questions I seek!

-       What makes one strong and another weak?
-       What makes one strive for greatness and another accept mediocrity?

I'm not listening!

·      You told me once
·      You told me twice
·      You told me three times
·      You told me four times
·      You told me five times

Today, I did something.

- it wasn't much, really
- it didn't take a lot of time
- it didn't cost any money

What came first—the Chicken or the Egg? My seven-year-old daughter, Lauren, asked me this question one day.

Lauren asked me again, "What came first—the Chicken or the Egg?”

I thought momentarily about some profound, meaningful answer but was interrupted by Lauren, who said she knew the answer (this is very common for Lauren).

“Dad, you think you are so smart.  You have several degrees but don’t know the answer to my question.  And I know the answer!”

After many months of work, an artist finally finished his masterpiece. The painting depicts a man waiting outside a door late at night, holding a lantern to illuminate his way. The artist was pleased with his work and entered a worldwide art competition.

I have a box of memories.

Shining, bright, and bold.

I have a box of memories.

Some warm, some very cold.
