12.- Rule for success
I believe what Bill Cosby said about this issue: “I don’t know the secret for success, but I know the secret for failure: trying to please everyone”.

Rule # 28.- Rule for presents
I really hate people who say “I bought you this because I didn’t know what to give you”. And they come with a piece of crap. If you really don’t know the person, there are always “safe bets”: a bottle of good wine, a beautiful flower bouquet, a signature art craft, or –if your budget allows it—a branded ornament object.
When you really know the person, there is absolutely no room for excuses. Even if the person is extremely wealthy (and you are not), there are small things that she might actually not have. The best gifts ever have come from persons that had thought about what I might be missing after analyzing my day to day activities and preferences (and with a small budget):
-A Swiss Army knife card
-A good quality runners T-shirt
-A good novel I had missed
-An original (and fun) mouse pad
Of course, expensive (and good taste) gifts are always appreciated.

Sin lugar a dudas tenía y tiene toda la razón Bing Crosby. Es muy frecuente estar en medio de dos opiniones encontradas, y si a ti te corresponde tomar la decisión por fuerza con alguien no vas a poder quedar bien, pero si eres afortunado y lidias con seres pensantes, te agradecerán a la larga que no trates de llegar a un punto intermedio, que generalmente no funciona para nada, es decir, quedar bien con ambas posiciones.

Hola Monica,
muy buenas noches, leyendo tu blog y en particular este post, me atrevo a hacerte un amable comentario; si no me falla la memoria, es Bill Cosby, y segun yo es “secret to success”. El famoso crooner Harry Crosby no comento esto. Saludos y exito. DanTM
@Dantm: Tienes toda la razón. Lo areglaré de inmediato.
Saludos,
Mónica
