Today is Clayton Cramer’s birthday:
I suspect that one of these years, I will be rich enough to go do something that really matters–something that makes the world a better place. At the moment, I don’t know what that is.
If you have children and you have done your level best to rear them to be
good, decent, hard-working people then you have made the world a better
place as surely as the greatest scientist or the greatest general.
My birthday present to you is a Chinese saying (Confucius, I believe):
“If your plan is a one year plan, plant rice.
If your plan is a twenty year plan, plant trees.
If your plan is a hundred year plan, teach children.”
Happy Birthday.
