When I come back after my trip to USA next month, I think I will quote Oscar Wilde when I go through customs:
"I have nothing to declare except my genius."

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24
hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in
front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and
empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked
the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into
the jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas
between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the
jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the
jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured
the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between
the sand. The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to
recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the
important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and
your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they
remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your
house and your car.
The sand is everything else---the small stuff. 'If you put the sand
into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the
golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on
the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to
you.
'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with
grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to
dinner.
Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix
the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really
matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer
represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'
The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.'

Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
Pee on it and walk away.

from my Albert Einstein collection:
"Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them."
"It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education."
"Human beings must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it."
"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school."
"Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own
hearts."
"God does not play dice."
"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."

If I was Winnie the Pooh I would say:
"If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred plus one day, so you never have to live without me."
