I mean, you thought the 75 year old nun was a tear jerker - I just stopped crying from like the 2003 Ironman...

I know rules are rules, but come on, it wasn't like it would effect anything except her getting to fulfill her dream. Yeah, that really wasn’t cool.

(A short-cut to quoting the whole thing, of course.) I think he has a very good point -- some things you just maneuver around, rather than trying to focus on/find it. I mean, if you're focusing on having passion for something you're doing, maybe you're just doing the wrong thing.

I believe the context for Charlie was about sight (or not having it). And don't worry, I'm sure their air it 30 times more... You’re totally right, O.

I missed it again. I should understand Charlie's thing, but I don't: You can focus on a goal or on the object of your desire - even though either might be out of reach, right? What was he talking about? Inner strength? Passion? (What was the context?) Doh!!! I missed it again.
