    Chris Hadfield
    “My optimism and confidence come not from feeling I'm luckier than other mortals, and they sure don't come from visualizing victory. They're the result of a lifetime spent visualizing defeat and figuring out how to prevent it.

    ― Chris Hadfield, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth
