Sometimes an individual takes it upon himself to be the “only one” with this postulate: “Ever afterwards, I’ll never be anything else but the one I am.” (A postulate is a self-determined thought or decision.) He doesn’t see life as a continuing script. There’s a great author someplace, he figures, and this great author is writing a script of which he is the effect, and he can even faintly hear the patter of typewriter keys in the sky, you might say, and he’s kind of scared of the script. And he knows that he’ll be cast in one role and he will never be in another role. So whether he succeeds or fails in a role, will have to do with the judgment which elects him to the new role.

But his total reward, his entire pay, will be the ability to play any role with verve. To be the most convincing private in the regiment with no strain. And be perfectly willing to unbecome a private when that role seems to be running out. And with great calmness, become a general. And as a general, hate privates like mad; and as a private, hate generals like mad.
