"Only those who dare to fail greatly can never achieve greatly."

Robert Kennedy

Poetry, musings and memorable moments--thoughts to ponder from the captain.

You have the ability to attain whatever you seek;
    within you is every potential you can imagine.
Always aim higher than you believe you can reach,
    so often, you'll discover that when your talents are set free by your imagination, you can achieve any goal.

If people offer their help or wisdom as you go through life,
    accept it gratefully.
You can learn much from those who have gone before you.
But never be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path
    and head off in your own direction if your heart tells you that it's     the right way for you.

Always believe that you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do,     and never forget the value of persistence, discipline, and     determination.

You are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming.

-Edmund O'Neill
