The play
Recall what obsessed you as a child before others shaped your tastes.
Robert Greene says
Your life's task leaves clues from early childhood, when you still heard your own inner impulse voices before teachers and parents drowned them out. As a child he was obsessed with words and letters, almost in a slightly schizophrenic way. Albert Einstein, when he was four years old, was mesmerized by a compass his father gave him as a birthday gift.
