	Good Morning Ting, and all of the rest of you I come to you now from this familiar vestibule with advice for the participants of this GTQ night school A familiar format, the well meaning nice tool who'll grant you this, a afternoon's savor for cash or a favor, food with no flavor inspiring advice for the next few days You'll do well, have some of this kool-aid. It's time, you must bite of the cherry of life It'll taste like fear and hope and diet coke and rainbows But don't be surprised when the pain grows this is kinda gonna suck, you can't abstain though There is no "do not" There's no effin try There's no "I don't wanna" If you don't like it then die Well no, I'm not condoning suicide Just trying to be motivational A little overly sensational You get it, I'm sure So I abjure Oh, you don't know what Abjure means? Well, maybe you're not as prepared as you seem It's like rejecting an error but with a bit extra care I'm pretty sure they should have taught you that I'm making a point here, and its that you don't know jack The best of you can hope to have been taught to learn To yearn for more that you'll still have to earn Because you're not ending learning, you're ending this one structure And OK, I'm starting to sound like a schmuck, sure But you're gonna keep learning, one way or the other Whether it's how to make change or be someone's mother Or make music or toffee or coffee or spread sheets Or hotels or laws or web sites or bed sheets. And don't think "but I majored in this I won't do that $#*%" I'll major in psychology, what will I do with it? I'll make do with my life, maybe an entrepreneur I have taught myself 90% of what I'll learn And that's normal, thats average, and boring, but true And for most hearing this it's be true of you too It should be, if it's not, that life's hardly real And that's scary, sure, be wary but deal Insecurity is something you will always feel The deep dark yawning pit of the next step of your life Might look like a fall but it could be a flight And who knows, that pit might be filled with ice cream maybe you're lactose intolerant, but you get what I mean Or maybe pain and failure is all that's awaiting you I'm just baiting you. Whether your facing hell or a festival My point here, right now, is grab it by the testicle. Make it your bitch! This is all you've got! Your one shot, it's short, it's actually probably not But while you grab life by the balls be careful with people Don't be a creep or you might find a deep hole Success might be however you define it But if you define it wrong, you're never gonna find it. Or even if you do, it'll suck to know that you got there at the expense of those who you love, or would have, if you'd ever even tried Because it's not he-who-has-the most toys when he died It's just life, and if you're not at least trying to be happy then why? So ONE you don't know jack, TWO be nice to others. Whether you become executives or baristas or stay-at-home mothers and lastly, have fun, OK that's all, I think I'm done And, that was a pretty good denouement
