Everyone has a story and a history.  Sometimes complicated.  Get to know it.  They will teach you more than you could ever imagine.  Don't judge because someone looks different or speaks another language.  If you had 7 days to live wouldn't what's important in your life be the same no matter where you are?  

​The woman in the canoe and the man on the street never even met me but they had a profound impact on me.   I wrote about them in my book, 149 Ways To Wipe Your Ass, available on amazon.com.  Never overlook the unintended impact you have on other people.  Likewise, appreciate the unintended impact they have on you.
