From Something
"I MEAN to be somebody, and do something useful in the world," said the eldest of five brothers. "I don't care how humble my position is, so
that I can only do some good, which will be something. I intend to be a brickmaker: bricks are always wanted, and I shall be really doing something."
"Your 'something is not enough for me." said the second brother: "what you talk of doing is nothing at all, it is journeyman's work, or might
even be done by a machine. No! I should prefer to be a builder at once there is something real in that... This is what /call something."
"I call it all nothing." said the third; "not in reality any position. There are many in a town far above a master builder in position. You may be
an upright man, but even as a master you will only be ranked among common men. I know better what to do than that. I will be an architect, which
will place me among those who possesses riches and intellect, and who speculate in art. ..."
(from "Something" by Hans Christian Andersen)
