[QUOTE="jedishrfu, post: 5922842, member: 376845"] What did you mean by keeping it in the box? I know many times biographers like to use that notion like something was preordained to happen in the persons life because the future scientist played with a compass or had some dream as a child which directed him along some path. I remember watching the movie Chariots of Fire where the Scottish runner, Liddell was said to be conflicted about running an Olympic trial on Sunday. However his sister said he had no such conflict, he didn’t run on Sunday that was his conviction which he never broke. The movie never got into his real heroic life of being a missionary in China, and being interned by the Japanese. He died 5 months before liberation while trying to take care of others at the camp. Not as memorable movie wise though. [/QUOTE]
