As graduation time draws near (I see that the University of Maryland is having Kermit The Frog as their commencement speaker, the reason I bring this up) I have advice for our young people who will be beginning careers that will bring them daily heaps of happiness, financial compensation beyond their wildest dreams, and personal benefits such as contentment and satisfaction. (Pause for applause and shouts of joy).
Invest in a bunch of these notebooks and, every night when you skip home on wings of joy after work, jot down the magic moments you're going to want to look back on in your dotage.
As you sit back happily retired, on the rare days that you don't have to go to a doctor's office or a physical therapy appointment, you will derive pleasure from reminiscing about the time that someone threw a tureen of coleslaw at the holiday party, or the person who did the payroll didn't notice that you took a week of vacation in April, so you wound up with five extra vacation days at the end of the year...
Magic moments!
