William James Quotation Number Four:

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.

Married people: Pay special attention.

You certainly do get up early. You must be overlooking sleep. Or you have a paper route.

This is really a good one. I think that there's a lot of truth in it. Sometimes we give too much weight to things that aren't really a problem.

But in the real world - sometimes - you try to overlook and you hear suddenly a voice in your mind saying: "come on... look... look better into it... you see... did you see that... the behavior of that individual is even more irritating than you thought" :-)

Cheers!

Enjoy your holiday, Mr. Pomerantz.
