    I think this question is about our own power and influence and whether we have the confidence to use it. It's nice to be very accepting of life and flow with everything...but it's also fulfilling to know you made a real contribution in life. I think the world could be so much more. I'm a dreamer; an inventor and all around creative spirit who enjoys thinking up scenarios and possibilities. It takes people like that in order to change anything IMHO. Otherwise, everyone would be content with whatever they got. Baa.baa...

    I like to make do with the resources I have around me. Wishing for a better pen when you don't have one is not going to help you finish the script any faster after all. To change the world for the better your primary tool is people. And frankly that tool is getting worn out, is always low on ink, and the spring always wants to pop out at a moments notice.

    That said there's always a way to coerce the dullest of pens into working long enough for your purpose. If you want to make the world a better place, learn how to manipulate your people.
