[QUOTE="Blue_Kryptonite, post: 1949082, member: 10949"] I promised myself I would be accomplished, famous, and respected in my field, and I was when I left it, with a couple major patents and copyrights to be proud of. I promised myself I would get better, learn to walk again, hold a fork in my hand, and eat a steak without having to have it cut into small pieces for me. I did. Twice. I promised myself I would give my wife a house and new car of our own. I did, and I did even better than I expected. That just leaves two. I will never let myself get that disabled again, not now that I have the power to chose my doctors instead iof being stuck with one from my insurance plan. And I will be a published author of novel-length fiction before I turn 40. So far, so good. All but the last one met, and then I can make up some new ones. :) [/QUOTE]
