Fifth lesson of academic logic

Question: You know how you can tell that your life isn't really that exciting, tragic, or special?
Answer: When your analyst almost falls asleep during a session.
Conclusion 1: Learn to relativize. Your life is never that exciting, tragic or special as you think it is.
Conclusion 2: Learn story-telling. One aspect of creating suspense is whether or not you have an interesting story to tell in the first place, another (equally important, if not more important) aspect is the way you tell your story.
