Dream-stealers

One Monty Roberts, "when he was in school, his teacher gave the class assignment to write about what they wanted to do when they grew up. Monty wrote that he wanted to own his own 200-acre ranch and raise Thoroughbred racehorses. His teacher gave him an F and explained that the grade reflected that he deemed his dream unrealistic. No boy who was living in a camper on the back of a pickup truck would ever be able to amass enough money to buy a ranch, purchase the breeding stock, and pay the necessary salaries for ranch hands. When he offered Monty the chance of rewriting his paper for a higher grade, Monty told him, "You keep the F; I'm keeping my dream." "

Back in July 2007, when Uli was telling me he was going to give me F for Plasma Physics I and Plasma Physics II, I guess my subconscious replied "You keep the F's, I'm keeping my Lethargy." Man, that was obliviousness at it's height!
