B
en Franklin once wrote, "If, when you're dead and rotten you long not to be forgotten, then do something worth writing or write something worth reading." To that, I say let's take a little from column A and a little more from column B.
There was a National Geographic author, codename: The Most Desirable Job, who was asked how he got his start. You can either plug away, he said, working your way up from mail room to corner office . . . or you just jump off and do something crazy.
Jump off and do something crazy? He said before his job, he had just finished a masters in Anthropology and went off to South America with a friend to pretend to be foreign correspondents. Is that so?
So did I get something out of my system? You bet. Do I know what that 'something' is, or if it relates to any next step? No, not the faintest clue. Could that something return and would I do it all again? Of course!-- so stay tuned for "Where's That Music Coming From . . . Asia Edition".
