"Being all you can be and having all you can have is not a necessity, live your life how you want to be happy with less stress and if people call you lazy forgive them for they are intrenched in the belief of manifest destiny which is not sustainable."

NOTE: On the unknown quote. Caution people will misinterpret this as being lazy and a none American way. But, I argue with this point everyone's American Dream is different. Some want sharing and caring who don't care for the corporate grind or ladder. Some will be the best they can be because they feel it is necessarily. My view is be happy in life, if your happy and content why change it.
