What is the Heart Life of a Color TV, What is the Shelf Life of A Teenage Queen?

The content of ones character is defined not during moments of ease and clarity, but rather through tumultuous and difficult times.

It's easy to be all happy and carefree when times are good, money is coming in and seemingly everything you touch is turning to gold. Anyone can handle good times. It's when your sky falls down and there's nobody around to really help you out - THAT'S when we define who we are. How do we handle ourselves through adversity? Do we weather the storm or do we run for the hills?

Before you get all excited and lovey dovey with the new woman of your dreams, be sure to know her history, her patterns... NO, not how many guys she's been with - that's none of your business - besides everyone lies. Find out about her past relationships, find out how they ended, find out how long they were etc.

Studying her past can help you prepare for the future. Is she a rebounder? Did she start going out with you right after she dumped someone else? If yes, then be careful. Some people have a history of going when the going gets tough, rather than sticking it out. They go look for another pasture.. hey look green grass...

But of course we always think we are special - 'oh no, that will never happen to me...' and then it does. You thought you were special, you bought the warantee but alas your shelf life is only 4 years - there's nothing the factory can do.
