1. Why did the former-pathologist do so well in their new role as a project manager?
Because their expertise in focus-drift enabled them to minimize any and all scope creep...
2. Why do pathologists only make their shakes with fresh fruit?
Because the last thing they want to do when not at work, is head to the frozen section...
He writes, and writes. He writes and writes and writes! Write-write-write, write-write-write: the Itchy and Scratchy shooooow! Oops, I mean: welcome to my blog, :)

Life and Duty
There's a passage I've come across recently (roughly sourced from the Talmud?),
Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.
which I'd re-interpret to,
Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief; you are not obligated to complete the work. But, neither are you free to abandon it. Act with justice. Love with mercy. Walk with humility.
because:

which I'd re-interpret to,

because:
- not everything can be done right away (or overnight), even attitude/approach (sometimes it's what takes the longest). Patience is truly a virtue. So now is optional.
- the original, while good, reads like statement(Do not...)-command(Do..Do..Do...)-statement(You...). Or practice, then theory. I find it more engaging the other way around. To each their own.
