Every artist dips his brush into his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

Your position never gives you the right to command. It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others can receive your orders without being humiliated.

Making a living and having a life are not the same thing. Making a living and making a life that's worthwhile are not the same thing. Living the good life and living a good life are not the same thing. A job title doesn't even come close to answering the question "What do you do?"

It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.

It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy.
