A hero is a man that does what he can.

Can. The ambiguity of the word is haunting. It's as if to say that what one can and cannot do are predetermined, so you might as well do what you can until you reach the point of cannot. The glass ceiling is already there, so once things seem unattainable, you should just stop where you are and watch the other more capable people continue on up. No. That is absurd. A hero is a man who does what he can and what he cannot do. He sees no line dividing the two. He has freed himself from the shackles of insecurity because, in essence, that is all 'cannot' really is- insecurity. So which will you chose- become a blur in the horde of complacency or transcend the limit and do whatever the hell you want to do?
