Lessons from a Jig Saw Puzzle

LEARNING FROM JIGSAW PUZZLES

Everything I Needed to Know About Life I Learned From a Jigsaw Puzzle:

1. Don´t force a fit -- if something is meant to be, it will come together
naturally.

2. When things aren´t going so well, take a break. Everything will look
different when you return.

3. Be sure to look at the big picture. Getting hung up on the little
pieces only leads to frustration.

4. Perseverance pays off. Every important puzzle went together bit by bit,
piece by piece.

5. When one spot stops working, move to another. But be sure to come back
later (see #4).

6. The creator of the puzzle gave you the picture as a guidebook. Refer to
the Creator´s guidebook often.

7. Variety is the spice of life. It´s the different colors and patterns
that make the puzzle interesting.

8. Working together with friends and family makes any task fun.

9. Establish the border first. Boundaries give a sense of security and
order.

10. Don´t be afraid to try different combinations. Some matches are
surprising.

11. Take time often to celebrate your successes (even little ones).

12. Anything worth doing takes time and effort. A great puzzle can´t be
rushed.

13. When you finally reach the last piece, don´t be sad. Rejoice in the
masterpiece you´ve made and enjoy a well-deserved rest.
