“It’s something I can do all by myself. It makes everyone who sees my room happy. It makes me happy too because I finish something that I start, and it gives me a feeling of doing a good thing for me and others. When they tell me I’m crazy, I ask them how many things they finished today that made everyone feel good. No one has an answer. How about you?”
