Plunge in. Dive into the deep end. Sink or swim. Well, if possible, don’t sink. If you learned anything at Emory, you should have learned how to stay afloat. The world is full of siren songs luring unwary sailors onto rocks; false promises, fool’s gold; foxes, cats, and coachmen luring young people to gluttonous, overindulging Pleasure Island, where, as you’ll know if you’ve seen the movie of Pinocchio, the kids make jackasses of themselves. Do not make jackasses of yourselves.
