You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear...but you can make a doggie treat...& maybe you can make a porcine purse.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Don't try to fit square talent pegs into round tasks. Don't burn up your energy battling weakness after weakness. Play to your strengths. 

There's a very-lucrative pet-food market and dogs have quite an appetite for treats.

There's a very-lucrative clothing and accessory industry...it's just possible porcine purses could be the next fashion rage. 

Sow's ears have their place in the world's economy. But, that place isn't in the raw material sections of silk-purse production plants.

Let's face it...some of us are natural-born worriers. When worry hits us we would do better if it wasn't for that body-language stuff that causes us to wear our worry on our faces...furrowed brows and similar give-aways.

Life's too short to beat the laughter out of me!

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Psychologists claim people, in general, laugh less as they age. As toddlers we laugh regularly. After that, we laugh less and less. It's like life beats the laughter out of us.

Sometimes we have such amazing things to share with other people we simply miss the fact they are trying to do the same.

When amazing stories collide.
