Take one dream.
Dream it in detail.
Put it into your own hands.
See its final outcome clearly in your mind.
Mix it with a little effort and add a generous portion of self-discipline.
Flavour it with a wholesome pinch of ambition.
Stir briskly with confidence until the mixture becomes clear,
the doubt separated from the resolution.
Bake at an even temperature in a moderate mind
until the dream rises and is firm to touch.
Decorate with individuality.
Cut into generous portions and serve with justifiable pride.
Approached in this manner, life is a piece of cake.
