My family succumbed to weakness this evening and ordered Chinese food --- egg foo young and a
pu pu platter. This time, we received six fortune cookies, two for each of us. Here are the fortunes:
No problem leaves you where you found it.
There are no strangers here, only friends you haven't met!
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that extra.
Be a generous friend and a fair enemy.
The days you work are the best days.
And my favorite, which I plan to keep as a time management reminder:
The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you think you can do only a little.
I wish I could figure out a way to send the Chinese vocabulary words on the reverse side of my fortunes to my American friend who just moved to
Beijing. It would be interesting to see how accurately the manufacturer translated the words.
