Last year I got a call from a friend saying she locked herself out of her room. Remembering TV shows where people would just take a card or butter knife and pop them open with ease I felt confident and told her I’d be right there. I spent over an hour sweating and trying my hardest to get it open to no avail. Practically breaking the door jam, I gave up. Then she called a locksmith and just before he gave us a call back saying he was on his way I went down to her garage and rumbled through her toolbox and found a perfect putty knife. It took me about 10 seconds and it popped right open. I learned that if I don’t succeed at something like I thought I should be able to take a step back and figure out what the problem is. (I needed something harder)
Great book and a wonderful teacher. I remember seeing him explain magnets in a YouTube video. It has stuck with me since. “You can’t touch, without being touched.”
