>Beware of being penalized for trying. Is that a lesson you will teach your kids?

Life is going to teach it one way or another, and Picard's words stand even more true as I enter my 30's as they were back when I was an angsty 14YO just trying to stay with my friends before Mom's job forces her out of state... again. Took me a while to realize I wasn't being punished for not studying enough and that this was simply a factor of life I had no control over.

sorry for the late response. These words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TCX90yALsI

Or rather in text form:

>"It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life"

But it sounds so much better coming from the captain's mouth.
