Because children grow up, we think a child's purpose is to grow up. But a child's purpose is to be a child. Nature doesn't disdain what lives only for a day. It pours the whole of itself into the each moment. We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last.
Tom StoppardNormally, even if you're on the set for 12 hours, there may be only a moment or two when you are actually useful.
