Sweat The Small Stuff. Without Letting Anyone

I Wasn’t Destined To Be An Astronaut. I Had To Turn Myself Into One.

I'm Really Looking Forward To It, If You Can Imagine Floating Weightless, Watching The World Pour By Through The Big Bay Window Of The Space Station Playing A Guitar; Just A Tremendous Place To Think About Where We Are In History.

Our Three Big Emergencies Are Fire, Loss Of Pressurization Or Contaminated Atmosphere. Any Of Those Things In A Spaceship Are Very Deadly And Time Critical. Everybody's Trained, But I'm The Commander Of The Ship, And It's Up To Me To Decide.

When You Have Some Skills But Don't Fully Understand Your Environment, There Is No Way You Can Be A Plus One. At Best, You Can Be A Zero. But A Zero Isn't A Bad Thing To Be. You're Competent Enough Not To Create Problems Or Make More Work For Everyone Else. And You Have To Be Competent, And Prove To Others That You Are, Before You Can Be Extraordinary. There Are No Short-cuts, Unfortunately.

Every Single Day You're The Result Of What You Did On The Days Prior.
