Every day is an opportunity for education.
Become a master not just of your isolated task, but of the tasks of people around you. Realize that you have always been your own business, whether you hang a shingle on your home or not. Find out what you really think, what you really enjoy, what you can do that no one else in the world can. And don't skimp on the brown sugar. Stimulate the economy, give a poet a dollar.
