Rosewood

I really needed to post this because even though I'm a known cop show addict, this quote hit home and I think it's good "food for thought." However, I am behind on many shows so this quote is from last week's episode of the new show Rosewood.

For those who don't know what this show is about let me explain who Rosewood is and his "partner." Rosewood is a pathologist ( Medical Examiner) who's seriously good at his job. So good, he has billboards all over Miami and charges $7,000 per body. He's rich. He's also the kind of guy a girl would love to hate. He's annoying, but cute. He's always right and it nearly kills his partner to admit it every time. You know  those types? Rosewood is a smart guy, but hides his illness to the point where he tries to cure himself. He has a heart condition and nerves in his hand that don't behave. He's constantly taking medicine and testing his blood. It's only a matter of time before he can't do anything to stop or even slow down the brokenness in his body.

Anyways, here is the quote that really got me thinking, "The list of things I can't do is a mile long, however the list of things I can do is a mile longer. And it's my job to never forget that."

There are quite of few things I can't do, but I don't let it deter me from chasing after things I can do. If I listened to all the people who told me I can't and just admitted defeat, I hardly doubt that I would be a college graduate. If Rosewood listened to the people who told him he can't do thins or that, I highly doubt he'd be a rich pathologist.

Get rid of the word 'can't' and replace it with 'can'.
