I get very depressed when I meet people who say they have no goal or desire, nothing that they are passionate about, except maybe watching television or something like that. I respect you greatly for having a goal and working to achieve it. I think the people who say you can't do something are the same people who don't even try, but instead spend their whole lives parked on a couch, with no accomplishments or glory, simply doing what the rest of the world is also doing. I would say I'm proud that you've come so far, but that would sound patronizing, so instead I'll just say that I have a feeling you'll make it the rest of the way, since you've already come so far.<br /><br /><br />Your introductory quote reminded me of this:<br /><br />`Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?' <br /><br />`That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat. <br /><br />`I don't much care where--' said Alice. <br /><br />`Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat. <br /><br />`--so long as I get somewhere,' Alice added as an explanation. <br /><br />`Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, `if you only walk long enough.'bluefishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480445920589350049noreply@blogger.com
