A Day in a Life

[Nabulod ti ladawan a naaramat]

"Give 100% to your relationship. But don't fall into the trap of trying to "give 150%." It sounds impressive, but it's impossible to give more than you have. It will just frustrate you and make you feel guilty..."

GREAT relationships aren't 50/50. They're 100/100.

Having a "fifty-fifty" relationship sounds like a good goal- but it's not. An equitable realtionship is not the same thing as a loving relationship. Fifty-fifty really means "I'll meet you halfway." In other words, "I'll work only this hard, I"ll give only this much, then it's your turn to meet me halfway." Love is about giving 100%, not merely 50%.

Nobody can give 100% of himself 100% of the time- it's impossible. But you can aim for it, and when you [inevitably] fall short, it'll still be okey. Even if you each fall short by as much as 50%, you'll still be in fine shape; it'll still ass up to something close to 100%. The problem is when you're both trying to limit your giving to "your fair share" - usually defined as 50%. If you do that, you'll definitely fall short of 100%.

Five minutes to romance= 1 day of harmony.

Think of all the times that your failure to do something little thing- like calling to tell her you'll home late from work, or mailing her birthday card on time- has caused a full day of unhappiness. Consistent attention to your lover will keep your relationship balanced and happy. It doesn't take much. Little gestures go a long way.

So for a romantic mathematicians, a cardioid is "the path of a point on a circle that rolls externally, without slipping, on another equal circle."
