99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
thank you

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've never really expected

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to find myself giving advice to people graduating

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from an establishment of higher education.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've never graduated from any such establishment.

seems stifling. I got out into the world,

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I wrote till I became a better writer the more I wrote,

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I wrote some more, and nobody ever seemed to mind that I was making

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it all up as I went along, they just read what I wrote and they me paid for it,

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or they didn't, and often they
