14 The Princess and the Pea

Once upon a time there lived a prince who wanted to marry only a true princess with royal manners. I appeared at his castle on a stormy night. The prince's mother decided to test me. She placed a pea in my bed, under twenty mattresses. In the morning my back ached terribly because of that pea. This sensitivity proved to the prince that I was a true princess. So we married. And the pea was placed in a museum!

Do what my prince did, and never aim for second place. You must seek only the very best. Don't apologize for being demanding. Don't let them convince you that your desire is impossible and will never come true. You know exactly what you want, and you know exactly why and how. Someday soon exactly what you're looking for will appear, as perfect as you hoped. And it will easily pass all tests. So keep asking for the best.
