Im stealing this from Esquire magazine. Its a long standing piece they do. They ask a celebrity or an accomplished individual to finish the beginning of a sentence.
Keep it short, or not, but be honest. Say whats on your mind.
For those without minds just do the best you can.

Everybody...has an ego

People sell...
