The Monday Morning Memo

“World class cereal-eating is a dance of fine compromises. The giant heaping bowl of sodden cereal, awash in milk, is the mark of the novice. Ideally one wants the bone-dry cereal nuggets and the cryogenic milk to enter the mouth with minimal contact and for the entire reaction between them to take place in the mouth. The best thing is to work in small increments, putting only a small amount of Cap’n Crunch in your bowl at a time and eating it all up before it becomes a pit of loathsome slime, which, in the case of Cap’n Crunch, takes about thirty seconds… He pours the milk with one hand while jamming the spoon in with the other, not wanting to waste a single moment of the magical, golden time when cold milk and Cap’n Crunch are together but have not yet begun to pollute each other’s essential natures.”

– Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon

Random Quote:

“When a person assumes they have superior wisdom, they will offer you their advice. It is an unmistakable sign that they think you are an idiot.

I smile when a person says to me, ‘Can I offer you some friendly advice?’ They instinctively use the word ‘friendly’ as a qualifier because, deep in their guts, they know what they are about to say isn’t friendly at all.

Still smiling, I shake my head and say ‘No.’

Unsolicited advice is the junk mail of life.

You don’t need advice. You need encouragement.

Not flattery. Encouragement.

You can do the thing you would like to do.

Of course you can.

You can become the thing you want to become.

Of course you can.

You can achieve the thing you hope to achieve.

Of course you can.

I don’t know how long it will take, or what you will have to endure, but I do know that you can do these things if you decide to. The only enemy you cannot outwit or outwait is death.

You were created in the image of God.

He does not think you are an idiot.

And neither do I.”
