Please open your books to Chapter 1. There won't be a test, but the subject matter may be reviewed later.

 I'm convinced all the world's greatest ideas have come in the moments before falling asleep. In that time span I am an ingenious inventor rivaled only by Nikola Tesla, an award winning songwriter with the storytelling prose of Charles Dickens, an international diplomat capable of sitting down North and South Korean officials for a friendly game of Scrabble... if I could just stay awake long enough to write down the details.

 From this moment on, I promise to keep these promises to myself: I will be afraid and still try anyway. I will expect to fail, and surprise myself. I will not waste my potential. I will get out of bed, and write down the details. Starting... now.
