"I am Sam, Sam I am." (Dr. Seuss, Green Eggs and Ham) “From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere” and “Some are thin. And some are fat. The fat one has a yellow hat.” (Dr. Seuss, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish) The party exceeded her craziest expectations, and her craziest expectations were crazy indeed. If you’re early, you’re on time, if you’re on time, you’re late, if you’re late, you’re in trouble. “If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary step” (George Orwell, “Politics and the English Language”) I hope I get an “A”. “A”s are difficult to achieve, but after hours of reading children’s books, I deserve it. “The love of wicked men converts to fear; That fear to hate, and hate turns one or both To worthy danger and deserved death.” (William Shakespeare, “Richard II”) Success leads to happiness, and happiness leads to success.
