So it would be nice to be okay at the guitar or at the piano, a reasonable cook, perhaps able to fix your car or do some basic carpentry, and be able to write the odd article. Rather than being super good at one tiny thing, to be kind of average at lots of things. It might mean that you have a more kind of enjoyable, complete life.”

Unless the world decides it wants to tackle this problem, that they want to deal with refugees there, prepare to absorb some of the refugees.”

I ask to be forgiven: they are such tiny ones.”

But as long as you have that goal - I will get out of here - you'll be OK.”
