JMS became in a lot of ways a sort of "hero" to me... some of the reasons are in this text.
Especially the part about believing in your dreams...
... just another one of the world's dreamers... as Bill says... "see me"...

His motto is that if you really believe in something and you follow your dreams, you can make them come true, no matter how hard it is. This is something I believe in myself, and have often referred to Joe's beliefs and episodes in the show when things got difficult in my life. My wife and I have learned that sometimes we have to make sacrifices for the greater good, to believe in ourselves, and to follow our dreams.
