"Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how."

--Mary Schmich, Chicago Tribune, June 1, 1997 *

* Like so many quotable tidbits, the exact provenance of this quote is hard to pin down. As far as I can tell, this columnist is the originator. It's almost certainly not Kurt Vonnegut. And I don't believe that bit about an apocryphal Pamela Anderson speech, either.
