I saw these large elephants tethered to a small stake. I asked him, 'How can you keep such a large elephant tied to such a small stake?' He said, 'When the elephants are small, they try to pull out the stake, and they fail. When they grow large, they never try to pull out the stake again.' That parable reminds me that we have to go for what we think we're fully capable of, not limit ourselves by what we've been in the past." -Vivek Paul

Thanks for the idea. I might have to go looking for a new BS (that’s Britney Spears) quote. That one you have is a good one, though.
When I saw that quote I just laughed and laughed. It reminded me how easy it is to fool the uneducated masses. If someone gets enough airtime and has her (or his) face plastered all over the TV, mags, etc. then the masses start to really believe this person is ___________ (fill in the blank, ex: smart, good looking, can sing, can act, someone I should be like, someone I should listen to, someone I should obsess over).
