I always thought that if you aim for the moon and miss you will hit an eagle, if you aim for an eagle and miss you will hit the ground. Ok, it went something like that, one of those motovational speakers from peta or somewhere. Keep up the running, at least the media has moved on to other grounds.
Great post. I love those quotes.
