"Why would you not want to enter the writing contest. If you win all the more power to you but if you lose all you will have done is try something new. Sense when has that ever been called failure, why should you fear it?"

"My little sister both worked for NASA and wrote books her entire life. She often said that the stars where her passion and writing about them her duity. She believed that it was her responsibility to pass on at least some of what she learned to the rest of us."

"If you have read anything about the stars writen in the 70's it was probably inspired by her work or writen by her."

"What will you write about? Will it help to inspire?"

When I was little I heard that a woman was crazy enough to go over Niagra Falls in a barrel! To tempt fate with so little between them to act as a buffer. She inspired me to go and see with my own eyes what daring trully was. When I saw the water roaring down I could not keep myself from saying for all to hear, 'I feal small.' How could anyone ever think to survive doing such a thing, how could anyone ever throw their lives away like that.

But she lived. She lived and told the tale! She. Lived.

There I stood as a young man looking up at something that had to be impossible and thought to my self 'I would be just as daring, I would go just as far.' I had no choice but to do it, could I call myself adventurious if I failed. Could I call myself Big if I did not even try.

This promise that would pull me back out there into the wild no matter how many times I was lulled by piece. It was this promise that ceminted in me the life that I wanted to lead. All because someone wrote about a woman with bigger balls then most of the people that were around me.

I later found a quote by Alexander the Great that sums up what she was. 'I would rather live a short life of glory, then a long one of mediocracy.'
