Linda, that was a great story at that link, thanks. :)

I also enjoyed the quote from Irving Stone.... I enjoyed the first part, and also his last sentence....

"And at the end of their lives they've accomplished some modest part of what they set out to do."

Aiming high can be a wise thing....

Since even if you don't reach your aim, if you aimed high and only reach half-way there, you still will have done very well.... :)

Thanks Linda for your post. Now, thanks to it, I also learned something about Irving Stone too.... :)
