It's not something that many people can repeat, but I'm sure we can all emulate what feel like the basic lessons of Carl Reiner's life: Do what you love, do it well, do it for as long as possible, do it in as many different ways as possible so that you're never bored, and do it with as many of your peers as possible so that you're never alone.
