“I knew someone had to take the first step and I made up my mind not to move.  I didn’t want to pay my fare and then go around the back door, because many times, even if you did that, you might not get on the bus at all. They’d probably shut the door, drive off, and leave you standing there.  I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.”

Gandhi said, whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. Lennon said, never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic. Rosa Parks said, I knew someone had to take the first step and I made up my mind not to move. I say, our time here is confusing and complicated, yet we keep moving in the unknown.
