Love: Understanding and misunderstanding

Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to error that counts.
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other.  Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem!
To be successful, the first thing to do is fall in love with your work.
