"So think for a moment what you would have to do to stand out in a state of 37 million people. Think of how high you would have to dream, how long you would have to stay at your dream, how much perseverance you would have to have, how much courage you would have to have, and just plain chutzpah. You'd have to go out and do what your heart and mind ordered you to do."
