Thought of the Day
They say that the invention of the wheel spelled the beginning of the modern world. Some might beg to differ. Far more revolutionary must have been the invention of the mirror. Prior to that if you wanted to see yourself, you would have to find a lake or a puddle on a still calm day. Now, suddenly, these tyrannical pieces of glass meant that we couldn't get away from a vivid (and perhaps sometimes too stark) reminder of our appearance. Don't let a reflection undermine our confidence. It isn't very accurate or fair.
