Landing by Sanjeev Sethi

Self-starters usually get someplace.

It is in the order of things to be

your own intercessor. If you wait

for the wind to call out for you; you

will have to hang onto your hat.

Still, a damp squib may cross your

curve. A well-lit map doesn’t secure

an easy ride. There is no grubstake.

No futzing around. In this ticker-tape

parade, a made man takes the lead.
