Scott Jankowski
About me
My name is Scott Jankowski, and I'm a 24 year old guy from Buffalo, New York. I learned to play Go a while back, maybe end of 2004, early 2005... but mostly at the "Why are you taking my stones off the board?!?" level. In late 2005, after I read some Hikaru no Go manga, I found myself wanting to know more about the game. I started on Yahoo Games, but soon found KGS where I now play as Ellimist and Amadeo.

Some of my favorite quotes:
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
-Lou Holtz
Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence is the key to unlocking our potential.
-Liane Cardes
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.
-Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.
-Harold Wilson
We confide in our strength without boasting of it; we respect the strength of others without fearing it.

“If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.”
-Jesse Jackson
“What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.”
