Thought for the day


I've just found this very comforting quotation:

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
Einstein (who else?)

So that's the answer. I'm a fish, and I must stop trying to climb trees. Voila. Success at last!

  1. That's a very profound quotation, Frnaces - maybe we should all frame it!
