## What he lives by
> Say who you are in your life and in your work.
> Let someone who is lost, old, or not yet born find that writing; your work will be a record of your life.
> You will help them feel less lonely in their own world. They will recognize themselves, and you will give them the most important thing of all: hope.
> Try not to sell; live your life with ultimate playfulness, happiness, and kindness.
> Be nobody but yourself in a world that does its best night and day.
> This is something I want to pursue wholeheartedly.
