CURRENT MISSION

to dare mighty things

ABOUT ME

non-smoker, optimistic, funny and tall:)

PHILOSOPHY

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

"Now that we have learned to fly in the air like birds and dive in the sea like fish, only one thing remains - to learn to live on earth like humans" - George Bernard Shaw

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance,....it is the illusion of knowledge.
