Remember: The Children on Charlie

• Respect people's generosity and time. If someone helps you, make sure they don't regret it. When you borrow a man's car, always return it with a full tank.

This is also a key to making and maintaining friendships

• Charlie reads like crazy, in his favorite chair.
• ability to block out distractions and focus intensely, without apology
• be skeptical, even to the point of contrarianism
