At my high school graduation, my teacher gave each student in my class a simple congratulatory card. On it showed a child gazing curiously into the moon, sitting in a sprinkling of stars. The message: "shoot for the moon. Even if you, miss you'll be amongst the stars."
Ignoring the obvious impracticality, or even awkwardness, those words were marginally inspiring and mildly impressive. Back then, of course. Yet sufficient for it to persist in me to this day.
Thank you SKK. Your mark, though subtle, is indelible.
