It makes but little difference whether you are committed to a farm or the county jail.
I like this quote, because to me I read it and think that no matter who you are and what mistakes you've made or where you end up, none of that matters just as long as you start a change somewhere and become and continue to be a person who commits to things and commits to being a decent human being.

That’s not how products work anymore. Many things are designed for obsolescence and the rest end up there anyway with frightening speed.
