The best way to keep your friends is not to give them away. In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept destructive criticism. Without 100% dedication, you won't be able to do this. I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education. I can usually judge a fellow by what he laughs at. Copy from one, it's plagiarism; copy from two, it's research. The worst-tempered people I've ever met were the people who knew they were wrong. A fellow who is always declaring he's no fool usually has his suspicions. When you take stuff from one writer it's plagiarism; but when you take it from many writers, it's research. I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education. A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he gets to know something. |
