I don't concede it at all that the intelligence at the time was wrong.
I always loved having the chance to disappear in a story. I always was kind of obsessed with that.
Helping others isn't a chore; it is one of the greatest gifts there is.
If you don't have a dream in life, I don't know what you have. You have to want something beyond your reach; it's exciting when it works out.

I think you should really research your cause, see if there are other people who are already doing the same thing you're doing and try to join forces because I really feel like collaborating is really important and very efficient. More is more, you know?
