Children totally accept — and crave — family rules. “In our family we have a rule for X” is the only excuse a parent needs for setting a family policy. In fact, “I have a rule for X” is the only excuse you need for your own personal policies. 孩子完全接受——甚至渴望——家规。「在我们家，我们对 X 有一个规矩」是家长设立家庭规范时所需的唯一理由。事实上，「我对 X 有一个规矩」是你给自己设定规范所需的唯一理由。

The extras serve as backups for mistakes, reduce stress, and fill your inventory for the future. They are the cheapest insurance. 做东西的时候，总要多备上一些——额外的材料、额外的部件、额外的空间、额外的饰面。 这些额外的东西可以为错误提供备份、减轻压力，还可以为未来储备资源。它们是最便宜的保险。
