Be glad he wasn't banned altogether after another failed promise to release. But you know, now it's really close, like really this time. At least poor Liberal gets some human interaction this way, otherwise he'd die alone in the Planetarium Prosperium.

By the way, the big difference between CMB and VD is that VD didn't take people's money with a promise to deliver in May 2013 no matter what. That's what most people are upset about more than anything.

Through her research at the University of Pennsylvania — and firsthand experience teaching in New York City’s public schools —psychologist Angela Duckworth has found that the ability to withstand stress and move past failures to achieve a goal is the best indicator of future success.

“What struck me was that I.Q. was not the only difference between my best and my worst students,” she shared in her recent TED talk. “Some of my strongest performers did not have stratospheric I.Q. scores. Some of my smartest kids weren’t doing so well.”

After teaching in New York City, Duckworth went to graduate school to become a psychologist, where she studied what types of people were successful at West Point Military Academy, the National Spelling Bee, in classrooms, and beyond. Again, she said, “it wasn’t social intelligence. It wasn’t good looks, physical health, and it wasn’t I.Q. It was grit.”
