Sample dialogue
“You may have grand designs and great dreams for yourself, but if God has decided that your lot is sweeping streets, work that broom like Michelangelo painted ceilings, attack that gutter the way Beethoven attacked his Ninth Symphony. Be a bush if you can’t be a tree. If you can’t be a highway, just be a trail. If you can’t be a sun, be a star. Be the best of whatever you are.”
