I like that quote, Tom. There was a psychologist-type who conducted inspirational seminars several years ago. He used an expression and concept that was interesting. He'd say Congratulations! You planned it that way. The idea was that things didn't just happen, but that decisions made, whether to actually take action or to refrain from action (which is a decision too), caused the outcome. He was also an advocate of people taking responsibility for themselves and not blaming others for their missteps. The Crane quote goes along with some of these notions because it is basically saying that you are what you do.... Can't say I disagree. mph
