 People are always blaming their circumstances for what

                               they are. I

  don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on

                              in this world

          are the people who get up and look for the

                     circumstances they want,

            and, if they can't find them, make them.

                      -- George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
