There is no definitive guidebook on how to pick the right partner, and even if there were, I'm way too dumb to write it.
I would compare that to when I first started with the Montreal Canadiens; it was a big family then, where the guys really stuck together and worked like a unit. But when I came back in '88, it was not like that anymore.
Resist your fear; fear will never lead to you a positive end. Go for your faith and what you believe.
