If he has a talent and uses half of it, he has partially
failed If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the
whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded and won a
satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know"

♦ When reaching up, keep your arms below your
shoulder level whenever possible. Use a stool or
ladder if necessary.
♦ When reaching down, place one hand on your thigh
to support your upper body.
