My new quote to live by

In my Saturday morning skating classes, I give my 4 year old group stickers at the end of every class as a reward for working hard and as something to look forward to. One little boy is particularly fond of "sticker time". This week, I had the group working on skating backwards. He stops suddenly and looks at me:

"I don't feel like doing that. Can't you just give me a sticker instead?"

That is my new line to live by. Just think of its uses with:

- Lab equipment maintenance
- Dealings with thesis committee
- Being asked to grade papers
- Personal trainers who think you should do push ups
...

Really, the possibilities are just endless.
