Imagine what we can talk about. Imagine the problems we can solve. Imagine the excellent things we can invent through collaborative efforts. We can even make music together. A person in one country plays the string instruments while another in a different country provides percussion and another in yet another country supplies the vocals.

So what do we do with this marvelous wonder?

We talk about popping zits!

Why not? I mean, after all, it is a universal problem that has plagued us for ages. Did you know that the health records for the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt indicate that they had acne? They say the Egyptian hieroglyphs refer to acne. That must have been some surprise to the translators.

Had not realized there are common thinking mistakes most of us make every day? Well … maybe everybody else makes those mistakes. I don't!

Mistakes 1 through 5?

Not me. No way!

Mistake 6?

Would never make this mistake because when it comes to Hershey’s Kisses and Lindt Truffles – you don't choose. You take both!

Mistake 7?

OK. I was wrong about who the original artist was that sang the song! Really thought it was Petula Clark!! That's how I remembered it!

Mistake 8 ? Fine! I admit it!!
