Do NOT Read this Book...

... if your work does not stir your soul. You may do something "irresponsible".

No doubt they can ride at last who shall have earned their fare, that is,
if they survive so long, but they will probably have lost their elasticity
and desire to travel by that time. This spending of the best part of
one's life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the
least valuable part of it reminds me of the Englishman who went to India to
make a fortune first, in order that he might return to England and live the
life of a poet. He should have gone up garret at once.

~Henry David Thoreau, Walden
