So the next time you see 1 ¼ ÷ ½, don’t flinch. Smile. You’re looking at a number that says, “You’ve got more than enough to share.” It’s the answer to a question you didn’t know you had: how many half-portions of confidence, time, or love can you squeeze out of what you’ve got?
Answer: 2 ½. Exactly enough for two generous portions and a little left over for the person you’re becoming. Now go pour that coffee—you’ve earned every half.
