By the way, these soft-sell ads are not without a sense of humor. For example, one who has just read through a soft-sell article would never think the real intention of the article is to sell calendars. I want to tell you. Today, the word "tear/Si1," (as in tearing off of a page of a calendar) has come to mean, 'an adversary.' It reminds you at the beginning and end of each day to cherish your time.
