Nature Is A Machine. The Family Is

I'd Like To Be Clear That A Number Of People Find Me Intolerable, And They Don't Hesitate To Say So - Which They And I Cherish.

It Is A Law Of Nature That You Must Do Difficult Things To Gain Strength And Power. As With Working Out, After A While You Make The Connection Between Doing Difficult Things And The Benefits You Get From Doing Them, And You Come To Look Forward To Doing These Difficult Things.

Don't Be A Perfectionist, Because Perfectionists Often Spend Too Much Time On Little Differences At The Margins At The Expense Of Other Big, Important Things. Be An Effective Imperfectionist. Solutions That Broadly Work Well (e.g., How People Should Contact Each Other In The Event Of Crises) Are Generally Better Than Highly Specialized Solutions (e.g., How Each Person Should Contact Each Other In The Event Of Every Conceivable Crisis).

The Media Has The Power To Create An Entrenched Perception Of Reality That's Incorrect.

Never Say Anything About A Person You Wouldn't Say To Them Directly, And Don't Try People Without Accusing Them To Their Face. Badmouthing People Behind Their Backs Shows A Serious Lack Of Integrity And Is Counterproductive. It Doesn't Yield Any Beneficial Change, And It Subverts Both The People You Are Badmouthing And The Environment As A Whole.
