You read a bunch of books and you get a bunch of how-tos, and you take a bunch of classes and you learn a bunch of techniques. you set yourself goals and benchmarks. i think people have imported that into their experience of taking care of children.

Your customers don't care about you. they don't care about your product or service. they care about themselves, their dreams, their goals. now, they will care much more if you help them reach their goals, and to do that, you must understand their goals, as well as their needs and deepest desires.

My daughter is seven, and some of the other second-grade parents complain that their children don't read for pleasure. when i visit their homes, the children's rooms are crammed with expensive books, but the parent's rooms are empty. those children do not see their parents reading, as i did every day of my childhood. by contrast, when i walk into an apartment with books on the shelves, books on the bedside tables, books on the floor, and books on the toilet tank, then i know what i would see if i opened the door that says 'private--grownups keep out': a child sprawled on the bed, reading.
Daughter Children Book
I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

I imported the first mac into england in 1984; you know, the beige box. i imported what i think were the first four that came into england. i never opened the instruction manual. that was the best thing about it.

The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.

If i'd learnt one thing from travelling, it was that the way to get things done was to go ahead and do them. don't talk about going to borneo. book a ticket, get a visa, pack a bag, and it just happens.

In his anti-darwinian book... (and eponymously named the neck of the giraffe ), francis hitching tells the story... "the need to survive by reaching ever higher for food is, like so many darwinian explanations of its kind, little more than a post hoc speculation." hitching is quite correct, but he rebuts a fairy story that darwin was far too smart to tell - even though the tale later entered our high school texts as a "classic case" nonetheless.
