I'm learning how to knit, and am going to be taking a cake decorating class in Oct at my local Michael's store, I would like to eventually , if I am good enough run a cake shop out of my home making cakes for weddings, baby showers , any occasion.

"People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."
