How Much? #1LinerWeds

During a long conversation with my friend Tom, he rattled off today’s one-liner. He was quick to point out that he didn’t make it up, adding that he didn’t know who did. Since I had never heard it before, it will always be Tom I associate this with this bit of wisdom:

“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

I looked it up (you knew I was going to do that), and The Google says:

“Everyone from Teddy Roosevelt to John C. Maxwell has been attributed with coining the phrase above. It’s been repeated often enough to become a well-known truism, especially in education.”

Wow. I never heard it.

Maybe the people educating me didn’t care. Then again, there’s a distinct possibility that I wasn’t paying attention when it was uttered.

This post is part of Linda G. Hill’s fun weekly series One-Liner Wednesday. If you have a one-liner, I’d encourage you to join in on the fun. You can follow this link to participate and to see the one-liners from the other participants.

I had to work from home today (while my car was in the shop) so a few pics of the usual suspects.

“Where’s that guy who’s supposed to brush me?”

“There you are. Get down here and brush me.” “Yes, MuMu.”

MiMi is trying to get comfortable

“Hi. I thought I’d try facing this way.”

“Is that my food down there? So far…”

“Hi. I might be able to move better if my feet were facing down, but I like looking at the world this way.”

Sunshine reflecting off the ice.

“I guess we’re sharing this space again.”

“You keep working, dad. I’m just gonna get some sleep.”

We thought she might like to lay on the cuddler, not under it.

“I’ll just lay here.”

MiMi is getting ready to take her nap.

“I think I need a nap”

The clouds have been blow away. MiMi is enjoying the blue skies and sunshine.

We had some strong winds that promised to blow these clouds away.
