Something appropriate...

(from someone's stock of favorite quotes)

"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 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 the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows 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 cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat".

For me, my team, and the others who are currently slaving away.

Ask me, ok?

I know we have our differences.

I know we don't speak the same language.

I know that you are a bit wary listening to what I have to say.

But I still wish you would ask me the questions. Ask me why! Ask me what! Ask me how!

Ask me the questions I want to hear. So I can answer them the way they deserved to be.

Ask me the questions I don't know the answers to! So I can face the truth and live up to who I really am. Someone who knows little. Someone who needs to learn more.

Ask me, ok? Because I need your questions to know that I am getting through you.
