"Great spirits often encounter heavy opposition from mediocre minds." Einstein ------
"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall live them." -Jack London -------------------------------------------------------

"It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
DARING GREATLY
so that his place shall never be
with those timid souls
who know neither victory or defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

Who I'd like to meet: "Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing."
Helen Keller ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
hey Jeb! Than You for adding me! I love to follow your projects because I can see what is possible for humans and how much skydiving and other extreme-sports are giving back to the people doing them. Life is too short for sitting around. People should not be afraid of dying, they should be afraid of not living. So, is there a next big thing running, after Journey to the center? Looking forward. Greetings from Germany.
