Calculations of the probability of you existing are all over the Internet. They all come out with skinny odds. Suffice it to say the odds of us being alive are zero.

You and I are radically improbable events.

That leaves us to ponder what to do with this one wild and precious life.

The gift of life is not ours that we might live idly.

Diligence is the mother of good fortune, and idleness, its opposite, never brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes.

Miguel de Cervantes

Diligence is one of the seven virtues. To be diligent is to have a strong ethic, a belief that work is good in itself as process. Hard work pays off. It makes us useful.
