I think people kind of come up and go, "Why hasn't that person busted out?" Almost always at the end of career, what you find out is that either consciously or subconsciously success hasn't happened because that person hasn't chosen for it to happen.

I just get fascinated by people who assume that things that are imaginary have no relevance to their lives.
