“I dont tell you this story today in order to encourage all of you in the class of 04 to find careers in the music business, but rather to suggest what the next decade of your lives is likely to be about, and that is, trying to ensure that you dont wake up at 32 or 35 or 40 tenured to a life that happened to you when you werent paying strict attention, either because the money was good, or it made your parents proud, or because you were unlucky enough to discover an aptitude for the very thing that bores you to tears, or for any of the other semi-valid reasons people marshal to justify allowing the true passion of their lives to leak away. If youre lucky, you may have more than one chance to get things right, but second and third chances, like second and third marriages, can be dicey propositions, and they dont come with guarantees.... The question then is this: How does a person keep from living the wrong life ?” ― Richard Russo
