If not you, then who?
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we
are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you NOT to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing
small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.”
Nelson Mandela-1994 Inaugural Speech
Following my first operation, I shrank. I did as I was told. I was terrified everyone would leave me to flounder, and quite frankly, as fabulous as I am, I couldn't afford that. I was bald. I couldn't walk well. I couldn't hold my head up. My mother was there every moment. My daddy strapped a brace on my ankle.
I was a little hardheaded prior, but with Dr. Bogaev's titanium, that increased exponentially. Best wishes, Mr. Kennedy.
Today, I'm hardheaded and my head is up, with my eyes straight ahead.

"The probability of the original input list being in the exact order it's in is 1/(n!). There is such a small likelihood of this that it's clearly absurd to say that this happened by chance, so it must have been consciously put in that order by an intelligent Sorter. Therefore it's safe to assume that it's already optimally Sorted in some way that transcends our naive mortal understanding of "ascending order". Any attempt to change that order to conform to our own preconceptions would actually make it less sorted."

"I think I am beginning to understand why grief feels like suspense. It comes from the frustration of so many impulses that had become habitual. Thought after thought, feeling after feeling, action after action, had H. for their object. Now their target is gone. I keep on through habit fitting an arrow to the string, then I remember and have to lay the bow down. So many roads lead thought to H. I set out on one of them. But now there’s an impassable frontierpost across it. So many roads once; now so many cul de sacs."
- C.S. Lewis, after the death of his wife
