Sandy, sandy beaches.

Finally, I am reaching the end of the last module of my Copywriting course. (I say finally, but really it has only been 6 months.)

And right near the end, there is this quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, from his book "The Wisdom of the Sands."

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum people together to collect wood and don't assign tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."



Yes, I am feeling very expired to go out there and make people yearn for things they may, or may not need. And, whether it was the intention of the module or not, I am now longing to be in the sand. On the beach. In Durban. Reading this book.

What are you reading?
