    What skill would you like to learn? I still remember the first time I watched someone play the piano. I was eight, sitting on a plastic chair in our school auditorium, when a senior student pressed her fingers gently on the keys.

    What details of your life could you pay more attention to? Life has a funny way of slipping through the cracks.
