“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

Just adding a thank you to everyone for serving. Most of my family has served and I've got nothing but respect for all of you.
If not for a few twists of fate, I'd possibly be a Navy officer myself today. But alas that wasn't meant to be.
