| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Pellucidar by Edgar Rice Burroughs: could never win new tribes to the empire. He would
fiddle around manufacturing gun-powder and trying to
improve upon it until some one blew him up with his
own invention. He wasn't practical. He never would get
anywhere without a balance-wheel--without some one
to direct his energies.
Perry needed me and I needed him. If we were going
to do anything for Pellucidar we must be free to do it
together.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Rivers to the Sea by Sara Teasdale: I LIFT my heart as spring lifts up
A yellow daisy to the rain;
My heart will be a lovely cup

For I shall learn from flower and leaf
That color every drop they hold,
To change the lifeless wine of grief
To living gold.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The People That Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs: these pictures resemble each other, or that any of them resemble
the coast as we shall presently find it. I have in view three
plans for scaling the cliffs, and the means for carrying out
each is in the hold. There is an electric drill with plenty
of waterproof cable to reach from the ship's dynamos to the
cliff-top when the Toreador is anchored at a safe distance
from shore, and there is sufficient half-inch iron rod to build
a ladder from the base to the top of the cliff. It would be a
long, arduous and dangerous work to bore the holes and insert
the rungs of the ladder from the bottom upward; yet it can be done.
