“Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow, and the day after that. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. You may not get exactly where you thought you'd be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. Don't let life randomly kick you into the adult you don't want to become.”

Reddit IAMA Hide Script
Here’s a quick script I wrote to hide comment threads on reddit.com in which the original author of the submission has not participated in. It will work for any subreddit, but I think this script will be most useful in the IAMA subreddit since I personally only read comments if I see that there is a response by the IAMA submitter. To use the script, simply paste the following javascript code into the url box of your browser and hit enter.
javascript:$(".thing.comment").each(function(){if($(this).parents(".child").length == 0){if($(this).find(".submitter").length == 0){$(this).hide();}}}); void(0);
