In the military, and in business, the most elite and effective teams I’ve seen or been part of are filled with individuals who take responsibility for their choices. Life is a series of decisions that you make and actions you take, not a series of things that happen to you.
Nobody’s life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.
It’s hard sometimes, especially with a book like ‘Scorch Trials,’ to truly adapt to the way the book is because so many of the scenes that take place in the book are really graphed and painted for the imagination. Trying to bring that to life is a really big task.

Ultimately, I believe the only secret to a happy marriage is choosing the right person. Life is a series of choices, right?

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.
Maybe that’s what life is… a wink of the eye and winking stars.
When you think about exploring deep space, it’s very dangerous for humans. To potentially sacrifice human life is a delicate proposition.
