David Burns, a story of fighting

The other 70 percent

What if we only had to be as effective as most cancer drugs?

Imagine going through life giving less than 100 percent and still you're considered a smashing success. Imagine giving 30 percent: 30 percent on every school test and class, 4.0. Every form and application you fill out, you stop a third of the way in and you're still accepted.
