I don't think history is stupid.History ultimately rectifies a lot of these things. If you had to ask me what I think happens in 50 years, I don't think it sits empty in 50 years. Maybe somebody else's name is there. But you can't leave it empty.

Cancer taught me a plan for more purposeful living, and that in turn taught me how to train and to win more purposefully.

Pain and loss are great enhancers.
