Today's Words of Encouragement

[pat]

LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS

Listens to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DONT'S
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me--
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.

Shel Silverstein

While I'm all for keeping dreams from going off into the impossible, I'm also very, very angry about people who kill the dreams of children. At people who say, "just live within {these} confines". People who say "settle". I don't like watching people chafing and being horribly unhappy about their circumstances because of continual sensations of wanting more, but I'm also saddened by "never tried for anything but the minimum".

And...if you're 5'8" and 150lbs, but a really, really good kicker...?
