The four sentences that lead to wisdom
A book I read while at Nanuya Island Resort in Fiji was Bury the Dead by Louise Penny. I picked it out of their meager little library at the resort - probably left by some vacationing Canadian. This was a murder mystery book set in Quebec City, Canada in the middle of winter - about as far, climate wise, as you could get from Fiji. We have been to Quebec City once as a family, and we really loved Quebec, and that town in particular (along with the Gaspe Peninsula - definitely want to return someday).
Anyway, a quote from the book that I liked and copied down was:
The four sentences that lead to wisdom:
I’m sorry.
I was wrong.
I need help.
I don’t know
I doubt I have been particularly good at these (particularly number 3 and 4 - it has always been difficult for me to ask for help, even though I am often in dire need of it).
A bit of wisdom buried in a thriller. A good book by the way.
Let's have a picture of the resort to remind me of that time.
Number 3 and 4 are exactly what I'm feeling when it comes to painting the BIG W!
