If I think I am not capable, I will not try with energy. Without strong belief, I won’t seek the knowledge required to achieve my goals.

He looked almost beyond reach, indifferent to what was going on around him.“Hey,” Astrid said. “We’re talking to you.”That did it. His jaw clenched. His head snapped up. His eyes blazed. “Don’t push me. That wasn’t you with your skin whipped off and covered in blood. That was me.
