Every human being needs to know to be a great parent, for a teacher to be a great teacher, and for a business partner to be a great business partner.

Try to avoid asking, in the overly bright voice of parents everywhere, “Did you have fun in school today?!” She’ll sense how important it is that the answer be yes.
