A mail that Teller wrote 14 years ago to give advice to Brushwood on finding his persona. A great reading, in my opinion, entertaining and insightful.

Thanks for that post, very very good read

This post proves two things. Firstly if you want to get anywhere you have to put yourself 'out there' as Brian did. To be honest most of us are just too lazy, or more likely, we just don't have the nerve.
Secondly, isn't it marvelous that there are people like Teller who are able and willing to give their time and affection (I use the word advisedly) to a young man he doesn't know but obviosly needed his help.
This thread brings hope for a world,which most of the time, seems selfish and cynical.

Amazing communication there. It just shows how far a letter will go.

I agree with every word. And put myself in the non-acting army.
