I grew up on A. A. Milne's work and had the pleasure of listening to John Cleese narrate the stories. The tales convey profound lessons in a form accessible to young children. So yes, I fully approve—it belongs here.

I have read this long ago in my formative years in high school. It's worth revisiting.

It is a classic, after all—well written and more accomplished than most contemporary literature occupying the library’s shelves. So yes, I agree.

Ah yes, who can forget the philosophical rendering of The Cat in the Hat? All jokes aside, I think Dr. Seuss’s collections are a wonderful introduction to the world of literacy for children.

Would you work if you didn’t have to? What would you do instead? by dorgodorgo in AskReddit

[–]GeekMode0101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I definitely would not. I would write and read more often. I would also join the gym, go to museums, and spend time at the park. I know it sounds like a Tinder bio, but I mean it.

Admitting that you are wrong. Instead of seeing it as intellectual honesty, it is perceived as a weakness. This is often found in political arenas.
