I don't like interpersonal conflict very much, so I'm much more likely to walk away from a potential problem than to try to fix it.

But I'm not afraid to try hard, complex, time-consuming things anymore, regardless of the prospect for failure. Making it through PA School helped immensely with that...

... that I'm a very dangerous fellow when I don't know what I'm doing.

Dr. Who said that.

I myself have saved this world once or twice. So have many other people who don't even know it.

But I am at the moment resting. It still hurts too much to move.

Could be you've saved this world a couple of times yourself.
