My favorite book is the Bible

Leave the beans roasting for the time that it takes to read 4-5 chapters of Proverbs... Somewhere between first and second crack.

Train a child in the way he should go,

and when he is old he will not turn from it.

In Proverbs Chapter 6, we are taught,

To be diligent and avoid lazy thoughts,

For ants are wise, preparing in advance,

Storing up food and avoiding chance.

The sluggard's ways are full of excuse,

But the hard worker will never lose,

For a little sleep and a little slumber,

Leads to poverty and lack of number.

We are warned of the deceitful tongue,

And the harm that gossip can be among,

For strife and discord it often brings,

And tears apart even the closest of kin.

So let us learn from Proverbs Chapter 6,

And diligently pursue the path of wise tricks,

For with wisdom and diligence as our friend,

Success and prosperity will never end.

12:16 愚 妄 人 的 惱 怒 、 立 時 顯 露 . 通 達 人 能 忍 辱 藏 羞 。Losing your temper is foolish; ignoring an insult is smart.

Today wasn't so bad! Challenged with a challenging book. That's all I really have to say today.
