Hell yes! Nice work galen, way to create these opportunities for yourself. Contratulations!
The work that you did, the person that you are, is what inspired others to put the work in on your behalf. Nobody bets on a crappy, lazy, ungrateful mare. Good on ya!
Well, don't feel too fuzzy. Now you've got to go kick ass.
tng, jeezuz, six men died to save Private Ryan (he didn't even ask for it) -- and now he has to go justify their sacrifice. That's a hell of a load to dump on Private Galen. He can kick ass or crash and burn. It's still his life. I think the 4th commandment more or less covers it and the word "honor" is negotiable. On the other hand, in every case, kicking ass is better than crashing and burning I should get up off mine and go kick some.
Hey, thanks for the pep talk tng! I totally agree with you though about showing up on time. :-)
There will be no shortage of people in his life that either directly, or by example show him that it's "okay" to just crash and burn, I'll not be one of them. Go get it! He's been given and earned an amazing opportunity and there's nothing wrong with feeling like you should "earn it." Edited for original intent.
