I tend to look at the world more from Voltaire's perspective. Incidentally, if you haven't read Candide lately, it's a fabulous book. It's riotously, laugh-out-loud funny in a way that no Shakespeare comedy will ever be.

Experience as much as you can and absorb a lot of reality. Otherwise, your writing will have the force of a Wiffle ball.
