The brick walls are not there to keep us out. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 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 stop stop the other people. - Randy Pausch

I’m sorry, I know these are repeats, and this one has repeated a few times, but each time it sort of just makes me very sad… :(

It is not so much the brick wall that motivates the “heroes”, but the monster at the bottom …

I know! If you don’t want something more than anyone else, that means you have to be eaten by a hypothetical monster? Not everyone in the world has an all-consuming, burning passion that they’re willing to die for…and that’s okay.

He’s only gotten past the monster in the pit. There are more dangers that await him inside, for the treasures that lie within a walled fortress have fierce guardians and cruel traps to deal with the unwary. In due time, when in the grip of a particularly ferocious guardian, this fellow will wonder if his partners’ sudden demises were more pleasant. If he survives and gets to the treasure room itself, after having endured all those ordeals along the way, he learns that the treasure is cursed. Does he risk bringing a curse upon himself in taking the treasure…or does he realize there comes a time when the price of winning is too high and forgoes taking so much as a piece of gold?
