Nearest book meme

Y’all know I like memes:

If our work and life experience is limited or unvaried, we may not really know what our Gifts are, or even our Passions are, and can’t be expected to until we have broadened our experience.

Dave Pollard, Finding the Sweet Spot: The Natural Entrepreneur’s Guide to Responsible, Sustainable, Joyful Work.

Rules:
* Get the book nearest to you. Right now.
* Go to page 56.
* Find the 5th sentence.
* Write this sentence – either here or on your blog.
* Copy these instructions as commentary of your sentence.
* Don’t look for your favorite book or your coolest but really the nearest.

As seen on Stephen’s Lighthouse and numerous Facebook profiles.
