Dreams

Like the Boy Scouts say, be prepared.

One math class short of a football scholarship, a brain tumor away from the network news, and one good night's sleep shy of getting the one more sale that earns you the bonus, and therefore, the Mustang. Have lots of dreams, so that when one falls through the net, you still have something to build toward and you're not left holding an empty hope. And always, always act like you can handle things and are perfectly happy until you can handle things and you're perfectly happy.
