Very well and simply said Tom.
***Warning-Tangent Alert*****
Imo, I run into people like this all the time and I think it's alittle sad.
I know that your statement referred to different situation, but it applies all over the world. People having thoughts, ideas and dreams but so afraid to voice it that they say nothing. Do nothing. Don't rock the boat.....
I think I would much rather take a risk and try something different in life, rather than do nothing and get the same responses.
