The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called 'truth'.
Okay so sometimes in life I can be a score-keeper - someone who keeps track of what he gives and what he gets in return. An annoying quality to say the least and I'm sure my wife has your sympathy but it's made me highly attuned to when and where credit is due.
I sometimes get that wonderful sympathy between me and the audience telling me I've reached their hearts. And when I do the thrill is mine.
Interest does not tie nations together it sometimes separates them. But sympathy and understanding does unite them.

People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.
Sometimes success comes in ways you don't expect.
Success sometimes can really bite you in the shorts.
I mean we are tribal by nature and sometimes success and material wealth can divide and separate - it's not a new philosophy I'm sharing - more than hardship hardship tends to unify.
