I tell you what - give me half of your non-settling energy and I'll give you half of my settling energy; I think we'll end up with a nice balance thereafter.

However, I'd argue with you - based off my initial observations, you seem to have your non-settling self fairly well in check, balanced by your hope. You appear to have a good "hope evaluation strategy" too - in that it should give you enough strength to stick it out through the hard-but-ultimately-productive times while keeping you from holding fast during the-plane-is-out-of-fuel,-on-fire,-and-swooping-toward-the-jagged-mountains times.

Here's to your determination.
