He's 100% right. Our MEC is shooting for the moon. I might not agree, but the die has been cast.
Now is the time. Asking "please" another dozen times isn't going to cut it.
"You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what's that?
Come up with a smiling face.
It's nothing against you to fall down flat,
But to lie there -- that's disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why the higher you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye!
It isn't the fact that you're licked that counts,
It's how did you fight -- and why?" - Edmund Vance Cooke
