How do you measure success? How do you quantify freedom? How do you gauge hope or joy? The answer is not as obvious as it would seem. Contrary to what most believe, these qualities can not be measured with a ruler. Keep this in mind today. And when someone suggests that a yardstick be used to calculate one of these esoteric ideas, please remind them that they are intangible concepts, and therefore cannot be measured in inches or feet, and especially not in some unit borrowed from the "metric" system.
