Man is not fully conditioned and determined but rather determines himself whether he gives in to conditions or stands up to them. Viktor E. Frankl
If I stand here, I can see the Little Red Haired girl when she comes out of her house... Of course, if she sees me peeking around this tree, she'll think I'm the dumbest person in the world... But if I don't peek around the tree, I'll never see her... Which means I probably AM the dumbest person in the world... which explains why I'm standing in a batch of poison oak. Charles M. Schulz
