People generally want to avert their eyes from the sight of those dealing with overwhelming physical challenges. But CHRISTOPHER REEVE won't let us. Reeve's book Still Me lodges itself at No. 1 on various best-seller lists. No wonder. By the day of his book-launch party, Reeve had already appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman (who, oddly, did not use the opportunity for a guest-specific Top 10 list), the Today show, Oprah, 20/20 and Larry King Live and done countless print interviews.

...course, this doesn't apply only to I-bankers and consultants. No one wants to wake up 10 years from now and wonder where the time went, but it's scary how easily this can happen. Adults tell this story again and again. Four years of college went by fast enough; life patterns only get more intractable from here on out. Not thinking about what you're doing and why will only lead to a mid-life crisis long before you've saved up enough for the accompanying sports...
