Buddy, you had the balls to take a risk. You fell on your face, but at least you took the risk. You did more good in that failure than most dreamers do in their lives. That willingness to put it all on the line will probably serve you all your life.

And all your life is what you have ahead of you. Dying at 20 would be such a waste. Especially for a lad that has balls the size of grapefruits who's willing to follow his dreams.
