The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other people. -Randy Pausch

They’re there to thin the gene pool.Nice, walls.

As much as I enjoy the usual strips here, this is probably not the best representation of the quote. I doubt the guy who fell did not want to live badly enough.I think this is more applicable where a person has the choice to give up or take the easy way out but still carries on to achieve great things because they are absolutely committed.Still, great work Mr Gavin. This quote is especially important to me as I am chasing a distance dream forsaking many things other people value. I would also recommend people to search “Randy Pausch Last Lecture” on Youtube to see this quote in its broader context.

A very good one.If it were easy it would not be unique.
Adapt…..Improvise……Overcome.And when in doubt……C-4 works wonders on walls.

Occasionally the brick wall is scaled by an arrogant prick who got lucky.

Still my favorite handgun.S&W N-frame. Highway Patrolman model.It also made a great club when close quarter combat came up.My off duty carry is a S&W 360PD AirliteTitanium cylinder, scandium frame. 11oz in weight loaded. 1 3/4 inch barrel. 5 rounds 357 Mag. If you don’t mind the recoil and sting. I love it.

1 3/4 inch barrel? Probably a little powder burn also.
BTW, Draw your sword as you’re going down. Give the failure monster a little stomach ache and maybe yourself an undigested way out.

Not all who fall fail completely. Maybe it just wasn’t your wall to climb.

How does that monster chew? It has teeth everywhere

It probably helped that the guy on the left greased the wall for the guy on the right side.

This is stupid. There are lots who would try and fail. If this strip showed them climbing up again until they reached it…
