A couple of weeks ago my wife brought back some yogurt from the store, but I didn’t know it. I went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to look for something to eat. I closed it back after a moment, not seeing anything I wanted. She then told me she bought yogurt and I went back. Guess what? When I opened the refrigerator, there was the yogurt, sitting right out in plain sight! I had looked right at it before, when I scanned shelves, but somehow didn’t see it! That really disturbed me.

You know you can discover some interesting quotes in personal calenders. Here’s one I recently read.

Have you ever wondered why some people can take a single talent and multiply it’s affects greatly - while others, who are multi-talented don’t make any real impact?

And in fewer cases are those people with multiple talents who seem to succeed at practically every endeavor, while a person with a single talent can’t even positively exploit it.
