One day a man spotted a lamp by the roadside. He picked it up, rubbed it vigorously, and a genie appeared.

"I'll grant you your fondest wish," the genie said.

The man thought for a moment, then said, "I want a spectacular job - - a job that no man has ever succeeded at or has ever attempted to do."

"Your wish is granted!" said the genie. "You're a housewife."
 

Math Signs

Little Tommy was doing very badly in math.  His parents had tried everything:  tutors, flash cards, special learning centers--in short, everything they could think of. Finally, in a last-ditch effort, they took Tommy down and enrolled him in the local Catholic School.

After the first day, little Tommy comes home with a very serious look on his face. He doesn't kiss his mother hello. Instead, he goes straight to his room & starts studying.  Books & papers are spread out all over the room and little Tommy is hard at work. His mother is amazed. She calls him down to dinner and to her shock, the minute he is done he marches back to his room and in no time he is back hitting the books as hard as before.

This goes on for sometime, day after day while the mother tries to understand what made all the difference. Finally, little Tommy brings home his report card. He quietly lays it on the table and goes up to his room and hits the books. With great trepidation, his Mom looks at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math.

She can no longer hold her curiosity. She goes to his room and says: "Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?" Little Tommy looks at her and shakes his head.  "Was it the books?  The discipline?  The structure?  The uniforms?"

Little Tommy looks at her and says, "Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling
around."

Our seven-year-old daughter was thrilled when we took her
to Disney World for the first time and headed straight for
Space Mountain.  I worried that the roller coaster would be
too scary for her, but she insisted. To her delight, we rode
it twice.

The next year we returned to the Magic Kingdom, and my
daughter, now eight, again dragged me to Space Mountain.
As we stood in line, though, I could see her soberly studying
the signs that warn about the ride's speed.  "Dad," she said,
"I don't think I want to go." I asked her why she would be
nervous when she had enjoyed herself last time.  She replied,
"This year, I can read."

Yes, life can be mysterious and confusing--but there's much of life that's actually rather dependable and reliable.  Some principles apply to life in so many different contexts that they can truly be called universal--and learning what they are and how to approach them and use them can teach us some of the most important lessons that we've ever learned.
My doctorate is in Teaching and Learning.  I use it a lot when I teach at school, but I also do my best to apply what I've learned to the life I'm living, and to observe how others live their lives.  What makes them happy or unhappy, stressed or peaceful, selfish or generous, compassionate or arrogant?  In this book, I've done my best to pass on to you what I've learned from people in my life, writers whose works I've read, and stories that I've heard.  Perhaps these principles can be a positive part of your life, too!
Universal Principles of Living Life Fully.  Awareness of these principles can explain a lot and take much of the frustration out of the lives we lead.
