Time for something lighthearted:
I stole this from another forum, but it's definitely worth repeating:
There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a great writer. When asked to define "great" he said:
"I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation, and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages
I literally laughed out loud when I read it
