Arthur Golden Quote

It's your duty to use what influence you have, unless you want to drift through life like a fish belly-up on the streamI wish I could believe that life really is something more than a stream that carries us along, belly-upAlright, if it's a stream, you're still free to be in this part of it or that part, aren't you? The water will divide again and again. If you bump, and tussle, and fight, and make use of whatever advantages you might have-Oh, that's fine, I'm sure, when you have advantages.You'd find them everywhere, if you ever bothered to look!
