Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility... in the final analysis the one quality that all successful people have... is the ability to take on responsibility.

I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you.

Refuse to accept the belief that your professional relevance career success or financial security turns on the next update on the latest technology. Sometimes it's good to put the paddle down and just let the canoe glide.

In the field of sports you are more or less accepted for what you do rather than what you are.

Well you got to remember bin Laden killed 3 000 Americans and in some ways he and his ideology killed tens of thousands of his fellow Muslims including Pakistanis. I understand that that was provocative and complicated for Pakistan but only if you accept the idea that he was an acceptable member of Pakistani society.

All of us in society are supposed to believe that cruelty to animals is wrong and that it is a good thing to prevent needless suffering. So if that is true how can meat be acceptable under any but the most extraordinary circumstances such as perhaps roasting the bird who died flying into a window?
