"I believe it's never too early - or too late - to start asking the questions: "What is it that really absorbs me?" and "What am I uniquely suited to being able to contribute to both my life and the lives of others?" - and then to have the courage, patience, and persistence to act on the answers as if your life depends on it. Because, in a very real sense it does." Andy Griffiths in I Believe This (edited by John Marsden, Random House 2004)
