Wisdom Sale

There's not a day when life isn't enriching--at least, for some who see life in its different facets and ponders it over. Some of them were called philosophers; and philosophers who impart his or her wisdom in a funny way is called a humorist.

Miriam Yankovitch wrote about what she had learned from life in witty and truthfully expressed one-liners. She didn't say anything no one had experienced before, but it's something that she may have put in your mouth in a given situation. In company meetings, this may have said what you cannot explain in your thought: "Coming to listen doesn't mean there's something to listen to." She also pricked people who misjudge others by saying, "There are good people and bad ones, but not necessarily the ones we point at."

These are just two of the many words of wisdom she compiled in Wisdom Sale: A Line to Rent, a book that means what it says and says what it means. One book that could open your eyes and your heart; one that could both inspire and lighten you up.
