Graham responded by saying,
"'There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and becau there is only one of you in all
of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it.

Having a job is great, I have learned. It means I can afford things such as a place to live and daily meals. And with an above-average job, I can afford a car and occasional overas vacations. However, I also understand how difficult it is to have a below-average job, having had many of them before. It's frankly pretty awful. Owning a car was out of the question – I could barely afford to ride the subway. So, I decided to go to university and get a degree.
Later, I emailed my details to every company and government institution with an online careers page. I even printed my resume and handed it out in what emed like hundreds of office buildings.
