Managing Life Transitions, The Chambered Nautilus (Poem)

Christine Hong: The Art of Managing Life's Transitions (Stanford Graduate School of Business, YouTube) 


Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea!

- Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
