Hi,
This might be random but I was looking for a quote of the day for my work and I noticed you quoted my dad, Dr. Peter Hanson. I thought you should know that his last name is actually spelled “-son” not “-sen”. You can confirm that from “Quotable Canada”, the main coffee-table book I remember the quote being published in. I do not know the context of when he first said the quote, but it might be in one of his old books such as “The Joy of Stress” or “Stress for Success”.
Out of curiosity, where on earth did you come accross that quote? He always joked about it growing up, but I never expected to come accross it.
