You are a blank slate.

                                                                   I am a blank slate.

From here on, you will develop.

                                                                          I will develop.

What will you create?

                                                                                   Create?

Oh that's right!

                                                                                     Right?

You don't know,
You're a blank slate.

                                                                   I am a blank slate.

Here.
This is a book.

                                                                          This is a book.

Read it.
Now you a reader.

                                                                          I am a reader.

Soak up the words from the pages.

                                                                            The words...

Brilliant, isn't it?
                                                                                  Brilliant.

You've become something completely new.

                                                                                 A reader.

Yes.


You have thoughts inside your mind.

                                                                        What thoughts?

Your own stories tell.
Go on, write them down.
Now you are a writer.

                                                                          I am a writer.


You're building your own world.

                                                                                       I am.

You're creating something new.

                                                              I suppose you're right.

You're becoming a creator.

                                                        I am a... What's a creator?

Well... A creator is a blank slate.

                                                                   I am a blank slate.
