=== A brief note about plagiarism: Don't do it!!! Your ideas and anecdotes must be entirely your own. If you borrow anything from another source, whether word for word or in paraphrased form, you MUST cite it as your source. Look how the publishing industry treats even "small" instances of plagiarism, even with its most well-known writers: ===
