Sometimes, I spread myself out too thin. My name is Vivian and I devote much of my life trying to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. People close to me have admonished that it is foolish for me to be what I really want to be in a world like this -- a philanthropist. But sometimes I'd rather be foolish than Machiavellian. It takes far more perception to notice what is missing than what is already there. This world needs unconditional love and tolerance and I'm willing to offer it. So whatever may come and wherever the tides may carry me, my work will be for the sake of philanthropy. Forgive me for my vices and I'll take your criticisms with grace, for I am as imperfect as any. I went back to my past this summer and sorted out my life and here's something everyone should realize, especially people like me: prestige is not the primary element of success and perhaps the most difficult advice to follow is your own.
I'll take you for who you are in spite of everything. Maybe this is the way lives are changed.....
