A BIT OF HUMOR

EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE I LEARNED FROM A JIGSAW PUZZLE
By Jacquie Sewell (with apologies to Robert Fulghum) 

1. Don't force a fit--if something is meant to be, it will come together 
naturally. 

2. When things aren't going so well, take a break. Everything will look 
different when you return. 

3. Be sure to look at the big picture. Getting hung up on the little pieces only 
leads to frustration. 

4. Perseverance pays off. Every important puzzle went together bit by bit, piece 
by piece. 

5. When one spot stops working, move to another. But be sure to come back later 
(see #4).

6. The creator of the puzzle gave you the picture as a guidebook. Refer to the 
Creator's guidebook often. 

7. Variety is the spice of life. It's the different colors and patterns that 
make the puzzle interesting. 

8. Working together with friends and family makes any task fun. 

9. Establish the border first. Boundaries give a sense of security and order. 

10. Don't be afraid to try different combinations. Some matches are surprising. 

11. Take time often to celebrate your successes (even little ones). 

12. Anything worth doing takes time and effort. A great puzzle can't be rushed. 

13. When you finally reach the last piece, don't be sad. Rejoice in the 
masterpiece you've made and enjoy a well-deserved rest.
