The Napkin made a mistake. Really.
Yep, really. I started out with a quote I was going to illustrate this morning. I started my drawing, meaning to stop at some point so I could add the quote into the drawing. But I forgot and before I knew it the drawing was too filled up for me to get the quote in.
But my mistake is to your benefit. Because you get a quiz out of it and here it is. Put your answer in a comment. And if you want, include a quote you think belongs with this drawing.
-
Which quote was I going to write on this napkin?
- The mind’s first step to self-awareness must be through the body – George A. Sheehan
- I don’t at all like knowing what people say of me behind my back. It makes me far too conceited – Oscar Wilde
- The problem with introspection is that it has no end – Philip K. Dick
- Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live – Nicolas Chamfort
Put your answer in a comment and if you want, include a better quote you think belongs with this drawing.
I will share the answer when I post my next drawing.

Examples Please
How about a racist? She feels exalted by virtue of her inclusion in a certain race. Other races aren’t as good as her race, as proven by ‘history’. How does she sustain this belief? By ignoring the ten thousand truths that prove the ‘history’ (and thus the belief) is incomplete and wrong.
And a Sexist? He feels exalted by his status as the ‘stronger’ sex. He is bigger, faster, stronger, smarter than a woman. In addition, his religion and his tradition says it’s so. How does he sustain this belief? By ignoring the ten thousand truths that prove his religion and tradition are incomplete and wrong.
Why Yoga?
Then why do I have a person practicing Yoga in the drawing instead of a drawing of a racist or sexist?
Good question. What’s your answer?

Quote by Alexander Pushkin, 1799-1837, Russian author and poet
“The illusion that exalts us is dearer to us than ten thousand truths”

Sometimes I Talk Too Much – A Quirky Quiz
I had a fancy schmancy quiz all figured out but it was the first time using the app and it conflicts with some ghost in the machine and was making the entire post invisible (told you it was a ghost issue).
So here’s the quiz in just plain text until I figure it out. Give your answers in the comments section, ok?
1. Match the ‘Sometimes’ with the ‘I Should Have’.
- Sometimes it’s because the other person doesn’t have time to talk and I don’t realize it.
- Sometimes it’s because I think who I am talking to wants me to keep talking but they actually want to say something.
- Sometimes it’s because I am so excited about the topic I don’t get the message that those I am talking to aren’t.
- Sometimes it’s because I’ve told the story or given the coaching lecture to the same people before and don’t realize it.
- Sometimes it’s because I want something resolved RIGHT NOW but the other person isn’t ready to have it resolved yet.
- Sometimes it’s because I am just full of myself.
a. I should have seen their eyes glaze over.
b. I should have seen them looking at their watch or phone a number of times.
c. I should have seen them give a big sigh.
d. I should have heard them talking among themselves.
e. I should have seen them try to get a word in edgewise.
f. I Should have done all of the above.
2. Match the word on the left with its language on the right.
- IGAV
- RAZ
- CHAT
- PAGBUBUTAS
- KEDELIG
- TRÅKIG
- LANGWEILIG
- скучный
- TYLSÄ
- NUDNÝ
- WOTOPETSA
- ZERIKARLI
|
a. Czech
b. Estonian
c. Finnish
d. German
e. Nyanja
f. Uzbek
g. Haitian
h. Swedish
i. Russian
j. Galician
k. Tagalog
l. Danish |
3. All these words have the same meaning in English. What is it?
