“Mirror, mirror on the wall, am I the most beautiful, the most talented, the smartest of all?”
“No. You are not.” Look at the mirror and wait. Wait for a minute or more. My reflection is…..
Well, it is revealing. It is actually quite disturbing. I am as beautiful as a brick. As talented as a mop. And as smart as a TRS-80 computer.
“Mirror, mirror on the wall.”
