“Never was anything great achieved without danger.” – Niccolo Machiavelli

 “You’ll have a Happy New Year with the following mindset: realize your one mouth is outnumbered by twice as many ears. [That’s true of her as well, of course, but since you’re a Real Man you have to lead the way, right?] So, reign in your hyper-active Fix-It gene; settle for being long on listening and short on solving. That way she’ll let off steam by simply talking it out. Talk is one of nature’s built-in siphons, just as rain is nature’s built-in irrigation system. And your problems? Let her talk out hers until she’s finished. And like leaving the dishes in the sink while your party guests are still enjoying themselves, your problems will keep” – Arnold Kunst
