Sometimes, it's about mindset...and luck.

Would-be robber picks wrong victim in Tacoma

Now, it might not always be advisable to slug a guy in the jaw when he is sticking a gun into your chest, but this does just go to prove that sometimes it's all about mindset. In this case, the would-be robber didn't have the right mindset, while the would-be victim decided he wasn't going to be a victim.

I'd still like to have something more than a stiff right hook to fight back with.

"What did I want?

I wanted the hurtling moons of Barsoom. I wanted Storisende and Poictesme, and Holmes shaking me awake to tell me, "The games' afoot!" I wanted to float down the Mississippi on a raft and elude a mob in company with the Duke of Bilgewater and the Lost Dauphin. I wanted Prester John and Excalibur held by a moon-white arm out of a silent lake. I wanted to sail with Ulysses and with Tros of Samothrace and eat the lotus in a land that seemed always afternoon.

I wanted the feeling of romance and the sense of wonder I had known as a kid. I wanted the world to be what they had promised me it was going to be -- instead of the tawdry, lousy, fouled-up mess it is."
-- Glory Road, Robert Heinlein
