The Contest

If you faithfully hold on to what you got, at least you’ll always have what you got.

I heard of this one world that apparently aspired to complexity, if not more, and so sponsored a planet-wide contest, the premise of which was to guess the premise of the contest.  (The grand prize was getting to make up your own contest.)

On many routine worlds, you can’t leave unless you know where to go, and on a few special ones, you can’t leave unless you know how to go.

Don’t think of yourself as special unless you really are, and even then, don’t.

Those who don’t think about thinking never mention it, and those who have trouble thinking say it is hard work to do so, and those who actually can, simply enjoy it.
