His talent, his gift for math, along with an imagination and determination to buck the old standards helped him achieve (though many within the scientific community would argue unnecessary) recognition and acclaim around the world. If your use of him is to example perseverance, in the face of adversity...he's an outstanding representation. But I am not him.
If in every moment, you're convinced that any ones lot is self determined, through effort, ambition, drive, and mixed with the luck only sweat can produce...I would agree, wholeheartedly....with exceptions and if we lived in a perfect world where success...small or large was a simple matter of iron will equally shared, rewarded or recognized.
To label any situation as an entirety, lensed through your view of self reliance and get up and go, assumes you know every factor involved...or at the very least...you discount all factors that you deem self made or illusionary by the person in question...through your particular myopic prism...that shines with one all encompassing light.
If my chapter, in this life, were mere aches, pains, and willing my determination to fire full throttle until some modicum of success or comfort were achieved, I'd say you don't know me...and we'd have to know...does my success match up with your notion of success?...and does my comfort equally parrot yours? Because your word choices indicate you know myi have a situation and how hard or how little my ambition and drive are...based on what you assume you know about me through my postings (one would guess). (*1) The tone of those words deliver a matter as fact conclusion, laden with snarky sarcasm that deduces my circumstance can be over come as soon as I stop feeling sorry for myself and apply the proper and sustained amount of initiative.
Though I know your posting, even with the cynicism of disbelief, is well intentioned...
...you assume to much.
this cake is so fucking good...
where were we...ah...yes
(*1) it is how i communicate...sorry...but i believe that for all...not just you
and whatever your situation might be...that i know nothing about truely...
the notion of comfort and success being measured happens in the use of
language, sentence structures and words !!...we will all be able to tell through the
means of how one chooses to communicate...well...some of us thus far...2012
the awaken begins...
yes...stephen was an extreme example...but only to show...
it is we ourselves who are Holden us Bach...
and you did it again...in this thread...by taking the position you did...
quit fighting your DNA...stop making excuses...live...
take risk's...not to be affiliated with risky (former allumnist)
