Hope is a creature who will lock loins with anyone. I wouldn't invest too much in the future of such a relationship.

"Raising The Bar Higher" might be dangerous, so is crossing the street. it just means your skilled and reaching higher. Life is all about being hopeful, life without hope is hopelessness , and that my friend is much more dangerous then anything else. Your glass should always be half full, rather then half empty. Staying positive is a virtue and away of life, or your already dead. Good luck, Max.

Thank you
