Intelepciuni de la Winnie the Pooh

In weekend mi-am luat un stilou nou, sa-l adaug colectiei. L-am luat ca era prea dragalas, cu un Winnie the Pooh mare, galben si zambitor si un magarus albastru, timid, cu urechile lasate in jos si botul roz. Eu am crescut in era before-Disney, asa ca habar n-aveam cine e acest Winnie the Pooh.

Ei bine, google m-a luminat si mi-a spus cum ca Winnie a fost si foarte intelept. For instance:

• “You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”

• “If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”

• “Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.” This is one thing I never ever never underestimate! ;)
  

• “Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon” (din pacate eu stiu cativa oameni care cred ca baloanele sunt niste prostii...)

• “"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called”. Asteptarea. A-ti imagina cum va fi cand. Mierea plus dorinta. I like this bear :)

• “It gets you nowhere if the other person's tail is only just in sight for the second half of the conversation.”

• "It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?' "

• "Some people care too much. I think it's called love." (and here is where I melted :) )

• "If there ever comes a day when we can't be together keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever"

• "You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn't spell it right; but spelling isn't everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count." (not around here, dar na, eu mai am mult de crescut si deocamdata ma uit cu atentie si la spelling)
