Why dream of a day when you can be happy,
Why plan for a year when you can have success,
Why say big accomplishment brings joy,
When I have joy today.

Writers are a less dangerous version of the career criminal. Everywhere they go, they see the potential for the perfect crime. The difference is that writers have better self control.

I like this, it made me smile. It makes you reflect on how serious life gets sometimes when it's nice to stop and just be happy.
