@waitbutwhy Hi Tim, I am trying to get the book - but Amazon won’t ship it to me. I live in Malaysia. Any way I get get a pdf ? I will pay for it. I do have a Kindle version but I want a physical copy.
Relationship tip: when your partner makes an awful but innocent mistake (leaves their phone in the cab, forgets their passport when heading to the airport for an international flight, drops and shatters a beloved item, gets in a fender bender, etc.), don't get mad at them. It makes no sense (it was accidental) and it accomplishes nothing except supplementing an already bad situation with an unnecessary fight.
Instead, think about it like this: as a couple, you will commit like 20 of these hideous mistakes a year and who knew that one of them was gonna happen today, but it did, so that sucks, but it's also a little bit funny, and let's just make the best of it.
This turns those moments from relationship-damaging to relationship-building. And of course, what goes around comes around—you do dumb things too, and you'd much rather your partner be a laughing teammate than an angry parent in those situations.
I didn't used to do this, I learned it from my wife. I am a frequent committer of hideous mistakes, and it surprised me that she never got mad about it, and then I started being like that too.
@imokman@TaylorsUni Sounds exciting. Congrats. Unfortunately most parents won’t know the value of the PPE or if lecturers will teach it the way it should be taught - encourage open discussions and challenge the status quo etc. Anyways my son is a PPE.
@IndiGo6E when we travel from an international port to India, the baggage allowance of 30kgs per person applies but when we are onward to another city within India on the same day, it appears your staff are confused about this baggage allowance.
