Reb Zusya was laying on his deathbed surrounded by his disciples. He was crying and no one could comfort him. One student asked, "Why do you cry? You were almost as wise as Moses and as kind as Abraham." Reb Zusya answered, "When I pass from this world and appear before the Heavenly Tribunal, they won't ask me, 'Zusya, why weren't you as wise as Moses or as kind as Abraham,' rather, they will ask me, 'Zusya, why weren't you Zusya?' Why didn't I fulfill my potential, why didn't I follow the path that could have been mine.
Come for a dose of inspiration from some of the greatest (and at times oddest) minds of history. The table is set. Come eat.
