"Hug and kiss whoever helped get you — financially, mentally, morally, emotionally — to this day. Parents, mentors, friends, teachers. If you're too uptight to do that, at least do the old handshake thing, but I recommend a hug and a kiss. Don't let the sun go down without saying thank you to someone, and without admitting to yourself that absolutely no one gets this far alone." -- Author Stephen King (9/21/1947) in his commencement address to the University of Maine - Orono, May 2005. Good advice for many occasions, and for none at all.
