It dont sound right if it aint said right

Old southern (US-american) saying. Quoted by Bill Withers in the documentary about his life "Still Bill". I found it so inspiring in more than one way.
Still Bill is a 2009 documentary film about musician Bill Withers. It received its world premiere at the 2009 South by Southwest Film Festival.The title is a reference to Withers' 1972 album of the same name.
Here is the link, hoping you can see it where ever you are.


Still Bill

And here is an amazing use of a distinct Bill Withers theme. I would like to know, what Mr. Withers is thinking of it....



We are all accidents at birth, we dont get to choose what we look like, we dont get to choose how gifted we are going to be, how tall, how strong. We dont get to choose anything. 
One day somebody says you are. At some point or another we have a choice, if we are sane enough by that point, as to how much we are going to apply ourselves. 
And a lot of that is influenced by the people who nurture us. 
Bill Withers, 2009.

how profound....
