Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but really great people make you feel that you too can become great.

What a lovely message the courts have just sent.
You can get behind the wheel after drinking six beers, piss your pants, lie to police, blow twice the legal limit and still walk away from drunk driving charges because of the skillful stick handling of your expensive lawyer.
That was the lucky outcome for former Leafs captain Rick Vaive, who emerged from Newmarket court an innocent man Thursday after Justice Anne-Marie Hourigan found there was a reasonable doubt as to whether he was really driving drunk back on July 14, 2009.
The judge found the 52-year-old hockey legend “candid and straightforward” when he testified that rather than inebriated, he was simply tired after spending most of the previous night playing cards and stiff and in pain after several rounds of golf and driving for two hours aggravated his old NHL wounds.

How did that happen Morton?
You think I would have gotten off?
Perhaps -- impaired driving, where the breath results are excluded for some technical reason, can be very hard to prove.
The key word is reasonable. There is little doubt in this case.
In fact it is the ONLY reasonable conclusion.
The decision is an insult.
