For a variety of reasons, the following passage came
to mind today.  It is from
<A HREF="http://www.thedenveregotist.com/editorial/2013/december/16/dear-me-my-first-day-advertising-1-jonathan-schoenberg">
   a letter that Jonathan Schoenberg wrote</A>
as part of the "Dear Me, On My First Day of Advertising"
series on <EM>The Egotist</EM> forum:

<BLOCKQUOTE><EM>
 You got into this business by accident, and by the
 generosity of people who could have easily been less
 generous with their time.  Please don't forget it.
</EM></BLOCKQUOTE>

It's good for me to remind myself frequently of this.
I hope I can be as generous with time to my students
and colleagues as as so many of my professors and
colleagues were with their time.  Even when it means
explaining nested <TT>for</TT>-loops again.
