More on Pain
“Said one oyster to a neighboring oyster, "I have a very great pain within me. It is heavy and round and I am in distress." And the other oyster replied with haughty complacence, "Praise be to the heavens and to the sea, I have no pain within me. I am well and whole both within and without." At that moment a crab was passing by and heard the two oysters, and he said to the one who was well and whole both within and without, "Yes, you are well and whole; but the pain that your neighbor bears is a pearl of exceeding beauty."”
“I'm a big believer in anesthesia. I think it should be used for every medical procedure, indlucing routine physicals.”

“I never view mistakes as failures. They are simply opportunities to find out what doesn't work.”
“Most business mistakes are irreversible setbacks, but you get another chance. There are two things in life that you don't get another chance at - marrying the wrong person and what you do with your children.”
“Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from making bad decisions.”
