I'm not a sweetheart, like I make myself out to be.
I'm a smartass almost all the time.
Don't like it? You can move on.
Have a nice day.

The key isn't winning or losing, it's making the attempt. I may never be what I ought to be, want to be -- but how will I know unless I try? Sure, it's scary, but what's the alternative? Stagnation -- a more terrible form of death.
