Pretend you’re more obsessed with this moment and a little bit less with the way it ends. Buddy Wakefield Buddy Wakefield is an American spoken-word artist and poet who’s been featured by NPR and the BBC for his talents. In 2001, he left his job as an executive assistant to perform in poetry venues throughout the United States for two years while mostly living out of his car. In addition to being a three-time winner of the Individual World Poetry Slam Finals, Wakefield has also dabbled in acting. His poetry often draws on moments shared with the people around him, from dysfunctional families to a roadside diner waitress. These words from his poem “Pretend” remind us to focus on being present as much as possible. After all, we never know what wisdom or joy we may gain by paying attention. Mary Live long and prosper

Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. Oscar Wilde Droll yet poignant, this line uttered by Mr. Dumby, a character created by Oscar Wilde for his 1892 play “Lady Windermere’s Fan,” expresses the value of learning from our errors. Remembered for his witty epigraphs as much as his groundbreaking satirical works, Wilde wrote of the follies and foibles of the upper class in Victorian England, and often brought his characters redemption through a hard-earned lesson. The Irish playwright reminds us that we all mess up from time to time, but we can extract valuable wisdom from those mistakes. Mary Live long and prosper
