This passage is something I’ve been wanting to put up here for a long time. (The lack of a brain is not the only reason behind this post.)
The Wee Free Men, by Terry Pratchett
“Now … if you trust in yourself … ”
“Yes?”
” … and believe in your dreams … ”
“Yes?”
” … and follow your star … ” […]
“Yes?”
“… you’ll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy. ”
