It's not how good you are...

I had a great day hanging out with my girlies. There was shopping and drinks over the rugby game (we beat England, woohoo!) and then a lovely dinner out.

During the course of the shopping I bought a book. This book to be precise:


I'm hoping to learn valuable excuses to get me out of situations where toppy types are trying to punish me for some little thing or other as is their want to do. I particularly love the title: "It's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be". That will be my first line of defence: 'I didn't mean to be naughty Sir, I honestly wanted to be good.'

As you go through the book it gets even better though. A key philosophy is that "it's wrong to be right". That being right is indicative of closed-mindedness and arrogance. So the book promotes being wrong as in "it's right to be wrong".

I shall enjoy trying that one out next time a toppy type is telling me I'm wrong and must be punished. 'No, it is right to be wrong and wrong to be right and therefore it is you toppy type who must be punished, so there'

The idea "the person who doesn't make mistakes is unlikely to make anything" is perhaps more subtle and might be even more useful, and certianly less confusing, than the right/wrong argument. 'We learn by our mistakes, and one cannot be beaten for acquiring knowledge right?'

But I think my favourite is: "You can achieve the unachievable" It gives me hope that someday I'll be able to have a lie-in at HH's without getting tawsed out of bed!

Yes, I like my new book very much. Hope the toppy types in my life appreciate the efforts I go to to keep them on their toes...
