" Throughout my life, my friends and folks have offered me advice. And though they meant the best for me, it often wasn't nice. They would always say my plans were just more crazy schemes. And every time I listened, I let them steal my dreams. I guess they feared, in case I failed, that I really shouldn't try. So I never spread my wings and never learned to fly. But they're just folks who only see the world the way it seems, and I am no longer going to let those people steal my dreams."
