Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. - Thomas Jefferson

Obviate [ob-vee-eyt]: to anticipate and prevent or eliminate (difficulties, disadvantages, etc.) by effective measures

They who are united to the glorious feet of Him who occupies swiftly the flower of the mind, shall flourish in the highest of worlds (heaven).
