A great quote from the movie Jurassic Park 3.
"Dr. Grant: I have a theory that there are two kinds of boys. There are those that want to be astronomers, and those that want to be astronauts. The astronomer, or the paleontologist, gets to study these amazing things from a place of complete safety.
Erik: But then you never get to go into space.
Dr. Grant: Exactly. That's the difference between imagining and seeing: to be able to touch them. And that's... that's all that Billy wanted."
Some were meant to watch the stars and some were meant to reach them. I guess I made a choice long ago to reach mines. I haven't looked back ever since.
