life philosophies of an iron


  •       There is no troubling wrinkle scarring your clothes that cannot be ironed out, as there are no problems in your life that you cannot handle.
  • ·      There is always another setting on an iron—cotton, synthetic—to correct aesthetic imperfections, much as there are always other options to correct your life.
  • ·      The ideal way to use an iron is in long, languorous strokes. We can learn from its caress when we are with our lovers … or ourselves.
  • ·      To misuse an iron is to potentially ruin your clothing, and to misuse your greatest tool—yourself—is to potentially ruin your life.
  • ·      Always be wary of being in one place too long, such stagnation can only lead to burns.
  • ·      The hiss of an iron can be the whisper of success.
  • ·      The iron will miss no detail, no nook or cranny, in its pursuit of smooth perfection. Be sure to iron the armpit of your life and between the buttons of existence.
  • ·      The modern iron is a highly adaptable tool. So is the modern you.
  • ·      We iron to evade a crumpled, messy appearance; the iron knows that appearances matter. Avoid untidiness. Iron your life. Iron your physique.
  • ·      A dropped iron is an iron uncared for. Be wary not to carelessly drop your life. Care for it as if it is perpetually balanced on the ironing board of the world.
  • ·      Much as we are mostly composed of water, the iron, too, needs water to fuel its steaming powers. If ever you feel weak, desperate in the face of life’s challenges, remember to have more water. Steam power your life.
  • ·      The iron is resolute and utterly driven in its single-minded task.  Be like the iron: focus, it is the only way to advance and correct imperfection.
  • ·      Remember, the iron can only get so hot. Your life, too, has its limitations.
