"I set my goals way higher than the achievable. And when I fail, I fail at a very high level. That's my process. It's really demented, but it actually works. When you are aiming really high and doing something new, you must be also prepared to fail, learn from your mistakes and begin with a new plan. More motivated than before."

-- James Cameron

And you will survive them, and you will know yourself better for having made them, and you will be a fuller and a stronger person.”
