"Everyone is special, everyone is important. If you think of it that way then, it kind of nullifies the concept of "specialness". It's a statistical inevitability that most of us are kind of average and there's nothing wrong with that. That's really a big part of my point...Let's get past that. One will be judged on who you are and what you do. And, one should not assume that every success and accolade will fall into one's lap simply because you're a good person. Life just doesn't work that way…" - David McCullough, Jr.
