[...] We do not always have to be our past. Although our past certainly has tremendous influence on us, we are who we choose to be every day. A lifetime of charitable stinginess can be overcome with one outstretched palm. We are the sum of the choices we make every day.

Really interesting stuff, i’m also getting crazy with the gauge selection, with 9s my Les paul feels lazy, but, i can play for hours without the suffering witch cames after a session with 10s where Les paul feels really solid, in the other hand I can be more musical with 10s cause sometimes i cant really conect myself with the 9s.
