Held

I’m giving You my heart, and all that is within
I lay it all down, for the sake of You my King
I’m giving You my dreams, I’m laying down my rights
I’m giving up my pride, for the promise of new Life

And I
Surrender
All to You, all to You

I’m singing You this song, I’m waiting at the cross
And all the world holds dear, I count it all as loss
For the sake of knowing You, for the glory of Your name
To know the lasting joy, even sharing in Your pain

I may well have mentioned this before, but must again!
Reading about intertemporal impatience today, and starting to feel rather impatient myself, I flipped the page to see a pink smiley next to “Polonius point” (yes pink smiley drawn by me).

The Polonius point is that consumption position where a consumer neither borrows or lends, ie consumes what income he has. And guess why it’s called the Polonius point? There at the bottom of the page is a footnote to explain:
“Neither a borrower, nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.” Hamlet, Act I, scene iii; Polonius giving advice to his son.

Ok yes so I’ve no idea who else appreciates the author’s effort to explain it here, but I do! It’s just so incredibly funny and cute and you know, just one of those things that actually makes studying fun? Haha. Polonius point indeed.

I also think it’s so difficult to find polonius points in my relationships with others, I have a bad tendency to borrow too much, lend to little. (ie give too little relative to what I receive)
