" "Nismo mnogo kupovali, ali smo štošta znali. Moj otac je posjedovao zaraznu radoznalost prema tekućim događajima, povijesti, pa i našim životima. Odrastajući, shvatio sam da postoje dva tipa obitelji:
1. One kojima treba rječnik da dovrše večeru.
2. One kojima to ne treba.
Mi smo pripadali prvoj grupi. Gotovo svake večeri zbog nečega smo morali konzultirati riječnik, koji se nalazio na polici nekoliko koraka od stola. — Ako imaš kakvo pitanje - govorili su moji - onda potraži odgovor.

"Years ago, I dated a lovely young woman who was a few thousand dollars in debt. She was completely stressed out about this. Every month, more interest would be added to her debts.
To deal with her stress, she would go every Tuesday night to a meditation and yoga class. This was her one free night, and she said it seemed to be helping her. She would breathe in, imagining that she was finding ways to deal with her debts. She would breathe out, telling herself that her money problems would one day be behind her.
It went on like this, Tuesday after Tuesday.
Finally, one day I looked through her finances with her. I figured out that if she spent four or five months working a part-time job on Tuesday nights, she could actually pay off all the money she owed.
I told her I had nothing against yoga or meditation. But I did think its always best to try to treat the disease first. Her symptoms were stress and anxiety. Her disease was the money she owed.
"Why don't you get a job on Tuesday nights and skip yoga for a while?" I suggested.
This was something of a revelation to her. And she took my advice. She became a Tuesday-night waitress and soon enough paid off her debts. After that, she could go back to yoga and really breathe easier."
