<lessons from lego>

i've been told that LEGO is the most ingenious toy ever invented ...
yet another piece of conversation over MSN:

X says:
way back when I was very young, I would build things out of legos

X says:
normally, all the pieces would be on the carpet

X says:
quite often I would be searching through the pile for a very small and rare piece


X says:
i would look very very hard


X says:
but couldn't find it

X says:
i would then give up from frustration

X says:
go watch tv

X says:
drink some juice or something

X says:
maybe have a piece of candy

X says:
any way

X says:
perhaps the next day, i would just be standing over the pile of pieces

X says:
and the dang piece would be right there!

X says:
kind of an amateur analogy, but I think it works with many things...

X says:
finding the "right" person is one that I think it works with

X says:
yes, I am not the biggest fan of going out with the sole mission to find
someone
