“How does an octopus reach out?” asked the marketing director.

“In oh, so many ways” said the statistical analyst.

What’s the likelihood of finding a seafood restaurant in a forest?

How many times does a toe have to touch water to test the temperature?

So many things can be measured and some cannot.

Three people, Chopin, Lennon and Beyonce, walk into a bar in an obscure village in eastern Mexico.

What happens next is anybody’s guess.

The light dusted across the hills leads me to forget the usefulness of electric light, and clearly, that the time of day changes everything.

Is now the right time?

You bet your hillside!

What form of life exists on planets other than our own familiar one is still a subject of speculation.

Have you thought, this morning, of picking an area you have paid no attention to for a long time and speculating upon it?.

You don’t need to read a book about learning to say “No” and you don’t need to read a book about learning to say “Yes”.

Saying yes to opportunities and adventures which may offer much learning is good.

Saying no to situations that are not good for you, whether directly harmful or exploiting senses of obligation or guilt, is always an option and often wise.

The rest you can imagine, and spend time with a better book!

Now that really is Self Help!
