Mom and Dad say I should make my life an example of the principles I believe in... But every time I do, they tell me to stop it.
Bill WattersonHey Dad, will you buy me a flame thrower? Of course not. Don't be silly. Even if I didn't use it in the house?
Bill WattersonHold it. You know what I'd like to see? I'd like to see the three bears eat the three little pigs, and then the bears join up with the big bad wolf and eat Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood! Tell me a story like that, OK?
Bill WattersonI tell you all this because it's worth recognizing that there is no such thing as an overnight success. You will do well to cultivate the resources in yourself that bring you happiness outside of success or failure. The truth is, most of us discover where we are headed when we arrive. At that time, we turn around and say, yes, this is obviously where I was going all along. It's a good idea to try to enjoy the scenery on the detours, because you'll probably take a few.
