"Do, or do not. There is no try."
(Michael Jordan)
In heaven, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Moses and Brhama are gathered around a large couldron of vinegar, having been bade by God to taste it. Each enlightened soul tastes the vinegar and cannot help but wince at the sourness of the taste. An unknown man then approaches the couldron and asks,
"What is this, which we have been asked to taste?"
The others tell him it is vinegar. The man nods and dips his finger into the vinegar and tastes it. He smiles.
The others gather around him and ask him,
"Who are you, who can taste this vinegar and smile as though it were sweet? Can you be more enlightened than us?"
The man replies simply,
"It is vinegar. I smile because it is sour, as a good vinegar should be. I would be concerned if it were not so."
(Taoist teaching)
"I watched with glee as your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades, for the Gods they made."
(Sympathy For the Devil, The Rolling Stones)
"Five hundred years ago people 'knew' that the world was flat....yesterday you 'knew' that we were alone in the universe...just imagine what you'll know tomorrow..."

the power to make it true.
You may have to work for it, however.

Every person, all the events of your life, are there because you have drawn them there.
What you choose to do with them is up to you.

That's what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we've changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning.
-Richard Bach, from "The Bridge Across Forever"
