OT A Dream Come True

Once upon a time, there was a youngman. He was in his teens, and he was a real dreamer. He had this dream of becoming a famous writer.

After he had written a number of articles for columns in the highschool paper and even for a small local newspaper, he came to draw some attention. It was decided that this youngman deserved to be interviewed by another reporter from the same local paper he was writing for...

The interviewer asked the young dreamer what his ambition was. The crafty teenager took a deep breath, and with a fiery voice, he said...:

"I want to be a famous writer. I want to write for everyone on this planet. I want everyone to be able to read what I have written, regardless of race, gender, culture or language.

I want my words to touch their hearts and stir up emotions they never thought they'd every feel. I want to bring down tears from their eyes with *my* words and have them taste the salt of their emotions!"

This was many years ago now. The crafty teenager has in the meantime grown up. He has become an adult and he has found himself a nice job that pays well.

And the greatest thing of all, was that he had found exactly the kind of job he had always dreamed of - his juvenile dream of reaching out to every human being and touching their souls, stirring up their emotions and making them shed tears...

He is currently residing in Redmond, Washington, and he is employed at Microsoft. He is the person who writes up the texts for the error messages in Windows... ;-)
