"To think bad thoughts is really the easiest thing in the world. If you leave your mind to itself it will spiral down into ever increasing unhappiness. To think good thoughts, however, requires effort. This is one of the things that discipline - training - is about."
- James Clavell, in his novel Shogun (1924 - 1994) British novelist, screenwriter, director, and World War II veteran and prisoner of war

Until one is committed, there is always hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.
