"Every failure made me more confident. Because I wanted even more to achieve things, as revenge. To show that I could." -Roman Polanski(1933-, Film director)

Often life seems to be about one thing, proving oneself. It doesn't really matter why or to whom, the point is that we feel the need. We feel the need to prove to ourselves, to our parents, to the ones we love and the ones we hate. We especially feel the need to prove ourselves to those cynical many amongst us, those of the cannot mentality. It is especially difficult to convince that overly cynical person when that person is none other than yourself. We must first convince ourselves we can achieve what we can dream. Realizing our capabilities is one of the most powerful things we can accomplish.
