Life is invaluable because of imperfections!

Sometime ago I remember watching the movie Seabiscuit... a lovely take of trust, courage, perseverance and success... great lessons in life! One of my favourite dialogues of the movie is the one which Tom Smith (the trainer) delivers when he meets Charles Howard for the first time. Commenting on the pony that he is treating for a broken leg, Howard asks Smith, why is he treating it and Smith replies:

Because I can.

During the same conversation he makes the most powerful statement of the movie (again referring to the same pony):

You don't throw a whole life away, just because he's banged up a little.
