I felt humbled and grateful for what I've got last week in Cancun.

We all like to think that we've got what we've got because we're smarter, more special than the average.

But, the truth is, ACCIDENTS OIF BIRTH probably have more to do with your ultimate "achievements" in life, than who you ARE.

I could see spark and intelligence and cunning and ambition in the eyes of MANY cocktail waitresses and busboys in Cancun.

They looked at all of us (swollen and decadent adult webmasters), surely thinking:

"He is NOT better than me. If I had gotten the chance he got, I would have done more."

We're all gonna age and die. I've already come to terms with that -- it's inevitable, after all.

What gets me are the things that DON'T have to be -- the things that simply ARE for some of us, and simply AREN'T for the rest.
