...You find a way, somehow to get through the most horrible things, things you think would kill you. You find a way and you move through the days, one by one, in shock, in despair, but you move.

Friedrich Nietzsche

In the military, they give medals for people who are willing to sacrifice themselves so that others may survive. In business, we give bonuses to people who sacrifice others.

Simon Sinek

I'm a four star general in this thing, and you don't rise to the ranks of a four star general by hanging about the house being the perfect dad.
