While reading the book back then I was instantly drawn to one character in particular: Rabbit. Oh, Rabbit. The chapter in particular is “Bisy Backson” (Chapter 6 I think). In it, Rabbit goes looking for Christopher Robin, but comes to find this note:
Bisy Backson means “Busy, Back Soon” by the way (misspellings of course are common in Milne’s books). Well, the note send Rabbit off on a wild goose chase, cornering his friends into telling him where Christopher Robin went. No one seems to be able to give Rabbit the answer he wants, and he darts off to keep looking for it. The chapter also tells other stories (like “Old Man and his Shadow” and “The Teahouse vs The Hamburger Stand“) to further illustrate the Bisy Backsons and why it is not always good to feel IMPORTANT and BUSY.
A “Bisy Backson” cannot seem to stay in one place for a short time. They are constantly on the move, trying to get ahead. They rush here and there, with little time to enjoy the simple things. All that hustle and bustle can indeed cause some unneeded stress in one’s life.
It’s a valuable lesson that I keep contemplating but yet keep forgetting. That I am, indeed, a “Bisy Backson”. Being BUSY, I believe, makes me feel IMPORTANT. And being IMPORTANT makes me HAPPY.
Recently, there have been many days that I sit back and reflect on where my life is going. I’m always in a hurry. Going here, going there, but going WHERE? And for WHAT? And WHY?
The day seems over before it gets start. You get the kids to school, slog to work and back home. Then dinner, bedtime, and like Groundhog Day, it starts again the next morning. Weekends fly by between mundane laundry, an activity or two, and errands before Monday sneaks up on ya like a little brat.
I feel like in an effort to save time, I end up wasting more of it.

Ummm, I guess I say that I have very fond memories about the characters Winnie the Pooh and all of his friends.
I have no idea what else you're talking about. I think I remember reading that book when I was a child. I remember more of the tv series though. I enjoyed singing along with the theme song. -

I just saw another book with a similar vibe but different, but I have to budget and see if I can get it.

There is good and bad in anyone.
The same goes for intelligence.
I'm Caucasian. I consider myself average in brain power. I only know about twenty Asian people. I have never asked them if they think I am smart.
We all like each other.
That is all that matters.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Yea, wise words, way to figure things out!
Yea, my grandma I asked and she seemed to always say, "It doesn't matter what race you are. You just have to be a good person!"

It isn’t really that simple, as proven by the wildly differing grades different races get in education. Something like 98% of Chinamen leave school with straight A’s and 72% of black kids fail everything.

Yes, Asians have borrowed everything from technology (light bulbs to computers) to politics (democracy to Communism) from the "Caucasian" west. So yeah, they know we're smart.

Asians do have something to offer, just a little out there. Different colors, too, all valuable.

Yea, but you shouldn't be able to limit that from happening in general. Why do you sound so upset? I hope you are happy as a person. I feel you have limitations with me you don't have with others because I'm Asian, but I can't have all full white/Caucasian people be that way with me.

Oh don't be silly, Christina. You're one of my favorite posters. My boyfriend is Asian. But I'm not interested in Filipino prostitutes.

You're more into Asian sex than any other person on here.

I like South Asian and Middle Eastern, not ching chong ding dong.
"Offering sex" sounds like a slut though, like that old Manila whore.
