The secret to life


All my life I have seen someone ready to share the secret of something with everyone, which sort of belies its secrecy, but that is irrelevant here.

There is something child like and sweet about believing there is a secret that will solve everything if I only figure out what it is.

There is also something kind of gullible about it.

If there really were secrets or if money could buy it, I think rich people would all be slim, trim, healthy, eternally young, and beautiful on the outside.

My experience has been that there are really no great secrets that work better than plain old common sense coupled with some healthy curiosity and a little bit of brazen self confidence.

If there is any secret at all I think it might be to put my time, energy and money into those things I love.

Then it doesn't seem like such hard work, but that's no secret.
