If the mind is a cupboard

Good advice, Glen, which I will put in my cupboard (the one I use...)

and, of course, i have first to keep it on a shelf of my own. this came from me anticipating being with twice-exceptional students who are gifted but somewhere on the autistic spectrum. and, as it probably does for you, this reminds me of paul's advice to think of others as better than ourselves. good to see you name, your comment, laurie. thanks! -glen

hi, kumarmani! thanks for reading and commenting on this epigram. perhaps it's true for you as it is for me, getting older with its growing experience has convinced me that there are gifts in every person which, given time, we could discover. -glen
