From “The
Human Condition: A User’s Manual” by Arnold Kunst
Don't go goofy on Keeping
Track Of The Bottom Line. There's the story of Pooh Bear counting his pots of
honey. "Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, six-" and all of a sudden Rabbit
bursts in upon him and distracts him. Pooh, of course, says, "Oh bother,
now I'll have to start counting all over again!" And Rabbit replies, with
more wisdom than he probably realizes, "If it's that important, call it
twenty; what difference does it make?" What difference, indeed?! That's
the real bottom line. After all, life is meant to be lived, not
calibrated.
