Paul-ups

Paul is a blind massage therapist whose strong hands can squeeze the soul out of my body.

My concern is that he is diabetic.

I had advised him to do 100 pushups a day, so he could "burn" calories from the food he would consume.

I hope he maintains the 100 daily pushups.

Judging By Discover

I fell into the same trap again; I had judged a book by its cover. A few years ago, I had already heard about Atul Gawande's The Checklist Manifesto. From reviews I have read on the book, the title seemed intuitive.

Yeah, yeah; it's all about a checklist. Yes, the author drew anecdotes from his profession as a surgeon, and he also pulled stories from high-stake professions such as those of pilots and fund managers.

I almost neglected the book.

However, when I was packing for a flight I decided to bring that soft-cover version (not that I knew it had a hardcover) with me.

My airborne boredom had spurred me on to open it and read a portion. I began to appreciate it like never before. There is something about immersing myself in the author's line of thinking that got me hooked into the whole thesis of the book.

I must not judge or prejudge any book no matter how much boring I feel the work is.
