It's perhaps easier now than ever before to make a good living. It's perhaps harder than ever before to stay calm, to be free of career anxiety. I want to look now, if I may, at some of the reasons why we might be feeling anxiety about our careers. Why we might be victims of these career crises, as we're weeping softly into our pillows. One of the reasons why we might be suffering is that we are surrounded by snobs.

I don't make music for the critics; I make it for the people who need it.

Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees would face a future with even less hope.
