People have only one way to be.

Buy, don't rent.

Don't buy anything that is 100 percent wool even if it seems to be very soft and not particularly itchy when you try it on in the store.

The world's greatest babysitter burns out after two and a half years.

Keep a journal.

Take more pictures.

If the shoe doesn't fit in the shoe store, it's never going to fit.

Back up your files.

Never let them know.

If only one third of your clothes are mistakes, you're ahead of the game.
