The past is where you learned the lesson.
The future is where you apply the lesson.
Don't give up in the middle.

Life isn't fair, a fair is a place where you go to ride rides and monkeys throw monkey sh*t on you.

There are three useless things in aviation:
1) The altitude above you
2) The runway behind you
3) The air in your fuel tanks
