Alex called tonight to thank me for the Finals Week Survival kit that I had sent to him. After he left in August, the Universtiy of South Florida sent me a form to send a kit so I did. I didn't know at the time that I would be seeing him a week before his finals and could have given him a survival kit in person. Actually, he inherited two bottles of wine and a six pack of beer from our trip and I think that is an awesome survival kit in itself...Anyway, Alex reminded me that I had written an encouraging quote on the card. It was, "In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure." By this time in our conversation I am pretty proud of myself because that is a great quote. Then he asked me when I wrote it because it just so happens that the author of that quote is Bill Cosby....whoops! What a difference a few months make! Oh well, I guess I get an A- for trying....
