If I would not do something – right now – I would never get to live my dreams in waiting.

I would like to be able to say that I came back from this by just simply getting up from the sofa and rolling up my sleeves… but I didn’t. I could not even take things days by day. In realistic terms I fought to make it through the day - 5 minutes at a time.

Suddenly I felt that determination well up, which had helped me to accomplish things in the past, even when I was only six years old.

Fear is the primary tool of the mafiya. It's how they contain their vast criminal enterprise. For the mafiya, fear is the grease in the wheel. Fear is much stronger than love | Fear lasts much longer. Love fades and is replaced by hatred and contempt. Fear lingers and brings forth other emotions such as doubt. Fear encourages procrastination and cowardice. Besides, you always hurt the ones you love. Most are too afraid to hurt the ones they fear.
