If you really believe in what you do, if you really believe in who you are – and let’s face it, if you don’t, who does? – if you have a vision, you have to stay the course, regardless of what others say. People may tell you you’ll never be anything, that you’re a slacker. That your way of life will never get you anywhere.

Don’t believe it.

Let Stan Friedman, a New York librarian, be your guiding light. Be like Stan. Never. Give. Up.
