Journey Before Destination
"Life is a journey, not a destination." Are you familiar with this quote? If you're not, the saying (attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson -- according to some -- incorrectly) suggest that we are aware of the present rather than focuts on some future outcome or goal.

During a recent viewing of the original Star Wars (Episode 4: A New Hope just to make sure we're all on the same page) with my son, Ben, I noticed a problem with how Han Solo at one point in the movie.
