"One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; and the world was better for this" -Don Quixote
I just discovered this beautiful word: quixotic.
quixotic
adj
1. preoccupied with an unrealistically optimistic or chivalrous approach to life; impractically idealistic
2. not sensible about practical matters; idealistic and unrealistic
synonyms: romantic, wild-eyed
[after Don Quixote romantic, impractical hero of Cervantes' novel "Don Quixote de la Mancha]
quixotically adv
quixotism n
Beautiful because it so perfectly describes my attitude towards life/work/relationships/how the world should work, and also because I am something of an iPhone scrabble player these days. Q is 10 points, X is 8. With the right combination of DL / TL / TW / DW tile placing, just quixotically imagine the possibilities.
I really shouldn't be a Business Analyst.
