A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
Q. Should we discourage children from playing war games?
A. We might wish to discourage them, but it would be utterly useless at the present time, so we might as well give in gracefully and try to see that when war games are played they teach the lessons which we wish our children to learn — fair play, magnanimity in victory, courage in defeat and no hatred of peoples.Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1942-08), “If You Ask Me,” Ladies’ Home Journal, Vol. 59More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-eleanor/83…

In the early 90s, when I was just getting started with fitness, I tried explaining squats to my friend Brad. "Imagine you're sitting back into an invisible chair and back up again."
He looked confused. "What do you mean?"
This confused me as I thought my explanation was clear. So I demonstrated.
My demonstration confused him more. "You get into a chair like *that*?"
Now my boyfriend was confused by his confusion, too. We asked Brad to demonstrate how he sat in chairs. That's when we realized that he flung himself back, lifting his feet as he fell into his seat.
We had never noticed this about him before. We spent the next while trying to teach him how to sit with control.
Imagine making it to adulthood without knowing how to sit on a chair or toilet without flinging yourself onto it. I wonder how many he broke.
