What is the aim or goal of your writing: 2nd ed. says, "With a certain intelligence, sensitivity (but not too much), an optimistic temperment, experience (what you learn from books and your own coming and going), a sense of humor (so you won't take yourself too seriously), energy, good health, and lots of luck, you may succeed in doing what you set out to do, get a little recognition and some satisfaction; you may even make some money, through that's not important, only pleasant. If you keep busy enough and have the love of one wife and a few good friends, you may find pleasure in life and forget the corruptibility of man."
