Don't listen to what they say, children. You will not succeed, you will not overcome, and you will not be important. People will not remember you when you are dead, they will not talk about you on prime-time talk shows, and there will be no holiday commemorating your lifetime of achievements.

You will sit in various flourescent rooms for years and years as people attempt to mold you into what they want, their ideal citizens. Most of your life, if you do as they tell you, will be spent in these concrete rooms. You will have various tasks of absolutely no importance to be completed on time and on your boss's desk the next morning or you won't have the pleasure of sitting in the room completing the assigned tasks.

There is no road to fame and fortune. Nothing you do matters. You will die, as will everyone else, and at one time or another there won't be anyone around to remember you, let alone care what you ever did.

so go dancing and yell a lot. have fun. ignore what everyone else is saying or doing. you'll be fine.
