RULES FOR LIFE

• If there were one extra hour in each day, I would spend it reading fiction.
• Each new age I sincerely thought was the best age. I still think the same. For example, because of my age and experience, I am now feel freer to express my own opinion, without worrying too much that the people around me might think differently. I did not have such a luxury before.
