I remember that I used to intentionally put some things that I wanted out of reach, so that I still got that feeling of yearning for it, all the while knowing that if I achieved it then it wouldn't be as great. Then I eventually realized that if achieving something lessens the value of it, then I shouldn't really want it in the first place.

I've lurked for quite a while, so I'm going to follow the advice put forth by this post and register and RSVP. Considering this is about 25 minutes away from me it would be a pity not to go.
