Higgins lived in Staten Island, New York, and worked in Manhattan. He had to take the ferryboat home every night. One evening, he got down to the ferry and found there was a wait for the next boat, So Higgins decided to stop at a nearby tavern. Before long he was feeling no pain.
When he got back to the ferry slip, the ferryboat was just eight feet from the dock. Higgins, afraid of missing this one and being late for dinner, took a running leap and landed right on the deck of the boat.
»How did you like that jump, buddy?« said a proud Higgins to a deck hand.
»It was great,« said the sailor. »But why didn't you wait? We were just pulling in!«

Terrorist attacks on September 11 failed miserably in one way. The goal was disrupt and destroy American lives, however the result was a renewed, untouchable, underestimated power of our people. We are Americans and we are proud! That can never be destroyed.

nobody can make you feel proud when you've got feelings of being unworthy inside of you.

i am proud that I strive for the things I have passion for and I dedicate my time to those things with desire. If I do not finish, I lost my desire, but there is always a passion that changed my vision.
