There are plenty of people dragging themselves miserably through the world, because they are clogged and fettered with work for which they have no fitness... I can't help believing that nothing is better than to find one's work early and hold fast to it, and put all one's heart into it. Sarah Orne Jewett
About This Quote

Despite what you may think, you can find your work early. When you do, don't ever let go. For some people, this is all they have, and it's enough to get them through the rest of their lives. For others, it's more than that. Often this is the first time they've ever had anything to do with their hands or their brains on a daily basis, and they're discovering what they're good at and what they like doing.
