Education should not be a preparation for life; it should be life.
A group of college students begged novelist Sinclair Lewis to give them a lecture,
explaining that all of them were to become writers themselves.
Lewis began with: “How many of you really intend to be writers?” All hands were
raised.
“In that case, there is no point in my talking. My advice to you is: go home and
write, write, write...”
With that, he returned his notes to his pocket and left the room.
