It May Be True That Artists Adopt A Flamboyant Appearance, But It's Also True That People Who Look Funny Get Stuck With The Arts.

What Matters Is Not Whether You Put Your Fork Or Knife Together Because You've Finished Your Meal, Or Something Like That. What Matters Is That You Don't Offend People, Or Hurt Their Feelings By Mistake By Saying The Wrong Thing Or Doing The Wrong Thing.

Neither Look Forward Where There Is Doubt Nor Backward Where There Is Regret. Look Inward And Ask Not If There Is Anything Outside You Want, But Whether There Is Anything Inside That You Have Not Yet Unpacked.
