Only in their forties, one can truly dedicate oneself to one’s true calling and be content with themselves. Everything before that is chasing windmills.
To have a notepad, laptop, PDA, A/V recorder, etc. in every room in your house, in your car(s), at work, etc. means to have a very high opinion of yourself.
Don’t even try to catch me in contradictions, it’s absurd: these aphorisms are targeted to widen your horizons and eventually make you laugh, not to teach you how to be consistent.
