“Whatever you describe to another person is also a revelation of who you are and who you think you are. You cannot describe anything without betraying your point of view, your aspirations, your fears, your hopes. Everything.”

HI Lweb10,

Very interesting comment!

It is true: some of us are much more guarded about our privacy and who we are than others. And those who are much more guarded are going to be much more reluctant to expose themselves to ridicule or criticism by stepping out into some new frontier.

Thanks for your thoughts!

- Glenn
