141. So What Will You Do When You Grow Up? @25 August 2002 You want a career? Your first decision is which of the seven deadly sins to make a dollar at. The second problem is how to dress your choice in rich robes of virtue. The third task is the most difficult. That is how to moderate your appetites, for each sin lightly tasted is a spice to life, but heavily indulged is poison to the soul. Finally, know thyself, not only at the beginning of the journey, but also at the end. It is a rare professor, laden with degrees and publications, who can see his vanity reflected in the honours. Nor is the burden of his own greed sensed by the captain of industry, even as it dulls his judgement. And the president or prime minister who trumpets pride in his country is surely making a virtue, not of the nation, but of Pride, to whose blind guidance he has long since surrendered.
