(Life Lessons from Calvin & Hobbes)
What do you need to know about life to live life better?
- It isn’t always fair, but it always worth living.
- The only person responsible for you is you.
- You can’t control everything that happens to you, but you can always control how you respond.
- As long as you are above ground, you have possibilities.
- Hope is having something new to try and being willing to try it.

I like your list, Mark. Especially the last one: Hope is having something new to try and being willing to try it.
When I have something new to try, hope springs eternal. It’s only when I’m out of ideas that I get nervous and stressed. And the great thing about ideas is that the internet age puts so much inspiration at our finger tips. Thanks for doing what you do.
