Good writers show rather than tell. Stories are told in action. Life stories are no different.

People want to join a great story. If you want to lead, tell one with your life.

It's possible to do both as a writer - to engage and have a family and all that good stuff - and I chose not to for the sake of the career.

The early bird catches the worm. But I have never been one for worms. I am not sure what the late bird catches, but I will feast with him today. Probably porridge.
