PHILOSOPHY

enjoy what you have, and share it when you can.

i once met a guy on a bus from chicago back to new york. he looked a little older than me, so i asked him where he went to school and what he was studying. he replied, "i dont go to school. but i feel like i learn just as much, if not more than i could in a school setting, from the people i meet and the interactions i have with them. i learn from my own experiences, and thats enough for me." right on, john.
