Your job application, your book proposal,

is occasionally going to think that you are doing it all wrong.
Don't take it personally.

Personally, I have fond memories of playing
on slippery rocks on the banks of a rushing river
as a child and hitchhiking in college.
To those who say, "But times are different now,"
I reply that statistically life is much safer now
than in the 1950s, with regard to both crime and accidents.
What has changed is our attitudes.
In those years, a broken leg from falling off a swing
or the back of a tractor was just part of childhood -
an excuse for gathering autographs.
Today that broken leg would be a source
of outrage and probably lawsuits.
I long for a simpler time when life was taken less seriously.

Life does not consist mainly,

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are,

If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.

your goals and maintain your happiness.
