I heard a bit of advice today from the MOST unlikely source: Jerry Seinfeld (on Oprah, no less). If you know me, you know just how cataclysmic this whole scenario truly is. That said, he gave such a decent and honest tidbit of advice that I'm sure he didn't make it up. He said, "Don't be such a good accountant."
In my life, while the Seinfeld credits are not offset by the Jerry debits, I feel I've learned a little from him. With others, like ourselves, we shouldn't be keeping such good score. Being forgetful could do a lot of us a lot of good. Is it really all that big a deal who eats the last whobobber or owes whom umpteen dollars? It makes us more impatient and synical. Hearing the adage made me appreciate the leniency of the good people who are unaware of my stats (you know who you are). In the future, I hope not to be so irritated when the scales tip, but don't topple. Forgiveness is the name of the game.
But don't tell anyone I heard it from Jerry. Besides, who's counting?
