More From Robert Fulghum

One of life's best coping mechanisms is to know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem. if you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you’ve got a problem. everything else is an inconvenience. life is inconvenient. life is lumpy. a lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat and a lump in the breast are not the same kind of lump. one needs to learn the difference.
