Why I Must Live to Be 111

It's simple, really.

Return-on-investment

of all the education, practice, work, learning, 

work again. I calculate 

a break-even point of age 72,

meaning that at 72 years, I will be even

with the board on what life 

has given me. The moment after that birth time

I can begin to give something back. 

By my proprietary calculations, 

I will need at least 39 more years 

to make something of myself, allowing me

to hold my head up. 

To balance the scales

in a way you would be proud of me.
