Today is birthday 39. Odd. I’m finding inspiration from Immanuel Kant:
He was of the rather curious conviction that a person did not have a firm direction in life until their thirty-ninth year; when this came and passed and he was just a minor metaphysician in a Prussian University a brief mid-life crisis ensued; perhaps it can be credited with some of his later direction.
We all take different paths and bloom at different times.
Happy birthday to the 39 year old professor who could still easily be mistaken for an undergraduate in the halls. What is your secret?
Thanks, Amy. I’m not sure that’s true, however.
