What will be your verse?

several commercials that the networks played over and over again.
Some of them, I could have done without, like where "the
guv-a-nah" Arnold stretched out before a ping pong game.
There was one great ad, however.
The one that caught my eye was a really well done commercial by
Apple.
You can watch it at the Apple website here:

Did it inspire you?
I did a bit o' research, and found that the spoken words are
from Robin Williams in the Dead Poets Society movie from the late
1980s.
He is reading and interpreting a poem from Walt Whitman. Using it
to inspire his classroom of male students.
The powerful portion of the prose was this, referring to life as a
glorious play:
"That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a
verse."
- from "O Me! O Life" by Walt Whitman
Interesting thought, isn't it?
That life is a play, and we can contribute a verse to it.
I did a recent interview with a gent named Josh Rodriguez for the
February edition of Frac Sand Fortunes.

Josh has certainly contributed a verse.
He created a business, Major Industries, out of thin air using his
hard work and determination.
Started at his kitchen table with a cup of coffee and a cell phone.
Fully charged battery.
Now he has a business with exclusive rights to distribute frac sand
from a mine in Wisconsin. He is actively growing it into a force
to be reckoned with.
And he told me exactly how he did it.
This interview with Josh is raw, hardcore, step-by-step

interviews that I've ever taken part in.
I'm still writing my verse for the play of life.
How about you?
What will your verse be?
