Before I announce the line of the day, I'll tell you a real life story.
Basically, its something that happen just now which I thought was quite funny.
So I was in cafe in the Queenstown library. I was having a drink and reading my book.
Beside me was a mother and her daughter. The daughter was about 3-4 years old.
The daughter ordered a plate of onion rings and was eating on her own.
As the sky grew dark, it suddenly seemed as if it was going to rain. So the mother looked at her daughter and said "hurry up and finish the food in case it rains".
Hearing her mother's words, the little kid started gorging down the plate of onion rings. Note that its a plate of hot onion rings.
Then a man seeing this walked over and told her that for little children to each big pieces at one go is bad for their digestion. He advised her to cut it into smaller pieces for the little kid. The woman took a glace at him, then she ignored him.
Then the little girl looked at her mother and ask, "mummy, what did the man say?"
The mother replied, " The man is crazy, something wrong in his head. This kind of people got problem."
When I heard that I almost broke out into laughter.
Okay, the line of the day is about pride and being stubborn.
" Stubborn and ardent clinging to one's opinion is the best proof of one's stupidity."
Michel de Montaigne
