a nugget of wisdom...

ok, i've given in to the FM bug and i've not felt inclined to blog much despite all the thoughts swirling around, but i think this deserves to be put up here to be shared.

it's a little something from thomas friedman's the world is flat and i think it's really special.

enjoy!

just think back to when you were a kid and you got your first fire truck or doll or doctor's kit or astronaut's helmet, and you told everyone you wanted to be a fireman or a fashion model or a doctor or an astronaut when you grew up. that innocent passion for a certain job, without knowing the salary or the working hours or the preparation required, is what you need to get back in touch with. it's that childlike feeling of "i want to do that because i want to do that - and i don't have to explain why" that we all need to rediscover. to put it simply: you need to rediscover your inner fire truck. we all have one, and when you find it, you'll know it.
