&ldquo;[Journalism] is not for everybody... I talk to a lot of students; and I talk to our NBC page program twice a year and I always say to them that I&rsquo;ve found that you&rsquo;ll do better if this is what you&rsquo;ve always dreamed of doing. If you chose our occupation at career day in high school and if it was either dentistry, farming, or television journalism and it sounded like a good idea to you, I think you&rsquo;ll fail. You have to want this, for the days you&rsquo;re in Tuscaloosa, for the days you&rsquo;re living on a fire-base in Afghanistan, and for those very dangerous walks through Tahrir Square.&rdquo; &ndash;Brian Williams.
