2. In a day, you can move from the whimsy of the summer holiday to the seriousness of work.
3. In a day, you can go from feeling exhilarating independence to profound loneliness.
4. In a day, you can be jolted from the complacency of routine to the anxiety of change.
5. In a day, you can go from an empty page to reams of handwritten prose.
6. In a day, you can mend fractured friendships.
7. in a day, you can lose respect for someone you admire.
8. In a day, you can find yourself halfway around the world.

10. You can go from feeling insignificant and ineffectual to initiating incredible change just by facing everything that comes your way with grace.
