“For a long time I didn't understand what he did that day. I figured he tossed a gold shield career into the shitter. But it started to hit me what the job had become for Buster. And for my too.

“Always aim for achievement, and forget about success.”
Helen Hayes

Helen Hayes

“Nothing happens until I make it happen.”
