"...The truth is that most of us are merely working for survival. Do not feel guilty if your job is not your passion...Sing your ass off at karaoke, start writing that novel, or knit those damn mittens. It is only when we give up on our passions that we are truly defeated. Your passions may never result in an all-consuming, multimillion-dollar career, but that is not the goal. The goal is to have a balanced life."

-Excerpt from Death by PowerPoint: A Modern Office Survival Guide (Flocker, M.)

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load. Or does it explode?
