“You’re never going to be perfect, but you try, you try, you try.  I think the journey getting there is really the best part… I think the one thing you have to do is really commit yourself, keep your head down and focus on what you need to do….  Don’t be that guy that knows everything, most successful people I know, are ready to admit that they don’t know everything, but they’re going to seek out those who can help them to figure out what they don’t know”– Tim Prefontaine
