My is from the Novel/Movie Guns of Navarone. It is an excellent novel (although I am not an avid reader unlike my much better half). In the novel/ movie something happened that I have always used to keep me on course when my ego or even vengefulness wants to distract me from what really needs to happen.
In the movie a Special Operations Soldier named Johnny gets killed shortly after he completes an unbelievable mission with his team. Immediately after the mission was completed Johnny went to take out his anger with the enemy and gets killed. The Special Operations team did not plan/train/prepare to take out the enemy, they planned/trained/prepared to take out a huge enemy gun position- which they did. One of Johnny'* teammates asks another teammate "What happened to Johnny", and the response was " Johnny died because he forgot his mission".... and I always remind myself when I get heated about something ..... what is my mission.

Mine is just a childhood nickname. My name is Maurice but my uncle wanted my mom to name me Maucreecy. No one understood why and mom and dad were having none of it but my uncle kept the name alive by calling me Creecy and it stuck with me throughout my childhood. Only my childhood and hometown friends know me by that name. I shortened it for online use. It'* my way of honoring my uncle who I always had a great deal of respect for plus the guy was hilarious.
