And think that success does not mean never doing anything wrong; the only people who never do anything wrong never do anything, period. Success means making mistakes, seeing them for what they are, doing something to set right what is wrong, and learning in the process. I am sure we all have misled, one way or another, some of us a lit- tle, some of us a lot (and sometimes we have done it to ourselves). The best we can do afterwards is to see the difference between right ways and wrong ways, and do something to change course. We cannot choose our feelings, so we cannot be held accountable for them; we cannot choose many of our thoughts either; but in our behavior we do have a choice, and an important one. -- Juan Antonio Rodriguez-Sero|"I have committed the worst sin of all Center for Coastal Studies|that a man can commit.
