Success is how you collect your minutes. you spend millions of minutes to reach one triumph, one moment, then you spend maybe a thousand minutes enjoying it. if you were unhappy through those millions of minutes, what good is the thousand minutes of triumph? it doesn't equate... life is made of small pleasures. good eye contact over the breakfast table with your wife. a moment of touching a friend. happiness is made of those tiny successes. the big ones come too infrequently. if you don't have all those zillions of tiny successes, the big ones don't mean anything.

I always used to say to players at half-time, 'be patient. the last fifteen minutes throw the kitchen sink at them. it's worth a gamble'. you are going to lose the game anyway. there is nothing better than when you get to that last fifteen minutes and you actually win the game late on. the fans are going out of the gates i gave it a try and it worked.

And how did little tim behave?” asked mrs cratchit, when she had rallied bob on his credulity and bob had hugged his daughter to his heart’s content. “as good as gold,” said bob, “and better. somehow he gets thoughtful, sitting by himself so much, and thinks the strangest things you ever heard. he told me, coming home, that he hoped the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember upon christmas day, who made lame beggars walk, and blind men see.

Bob wallace was my editor at rolling stone when i first started writing there, and he's a wonderful editor. i was in the philippines during the marcos overthrow, and i was up on what was called smokey mountain. i think it's gone now, but it was a garbage dump with a bunch of people living on it. i was talking to bob on the phone, and i told him, "i'm a humorist. i can't write about this." and bob told me to let my style be dictated by the subject, to take what i saw and write about it in the tone that it requires.

But the only rhyme he could summon for 'out' was 'sauerkraut,' which lacked poetic glory. he let it go. the right line would come in time. that was the thing about poetry. it crept up through the draws and coulees of the brain.

Writing for urbanmoms has awarded me a multitude of amazing opportunities. i have traveled to new places; alone and with my family. i have discovered new products, new books, new trends and new restaurants, and been able to share them with my readers. i've met other wonderful writers and many incredible celebrities.

I wonder why anyone would hesitate to be generous with their writing. i mean, if you really want to make a living, go to wall street and trade oil futures ... we're writers. we're doing something that is inherently a generous act. we're exposing ourselves to the muse and to the things that frighten us. why do that if you're not willing to be generous? and paradoxically, almost ironically, it turns out that the more generous you are, the more money you make. but that's secondary. for me, the privilege of being generous is why i get to do this.
