.it is helpful to think of yourlife not in terms of work but in terms of music–particularly a symphony. A symphony, traditionally, hasfour parts to it–four movements, as they’re called. So does Life.

It is much better to think of it as the Fourth Movement, a triumphant, powerful ending tothe symphony of our life here on earth. Richard N. Bolles
