I never followed baseball very much. As a kid, I never followed sports.

Work hard and figure out how to be useful and don't try to imitate anybody else's success. Figure out how to do it for yourself with yourself.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
