My brother wants me to find him a summer job.
He asked me to check with my boss, my friends, my business associates. Then he asked me to run off 100 copies of his resume, call up the employment agencies, and write an ad for the Positions Wanted section of the newspaper.
I asked him what he wanted to call himself in the ad.
He said, "A self-starter!"
"There is a wisdom of the head, and ... there is a wisdom of the heart."

Before I could start my first job right out of college, I had to present evidence that I was a U.S. citizen. I showed up with my driver's license and birth certificate. The clerk looked at my driver's license and copied down some information.
She then picked up my birth certificate and gave it a long look.
"Is anything wrong?" I asked.
"Yes," she said. "I can't find the expiration date."
One day while shopping, my chatter bug daughter who was three at the time introduced herself to the lady behind us at the check out.
She proceeded to tell the lady her sister's name and then said and to the lady, "This is my mom. Her name is Mom."
