● Don't be afraid to fail.
You've failed many times, although you may not remember. You fell down the first time you tried to walk. You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim. Did you hit the ball the first time you swung a bat? Heave hitters, the ones who hit the most homeruns, also strike out a lot. R.H.Macy failed 7 times before his new store in New York caught on. English novelist, John Creasy got 753 rejection slips before he published 564 books. Babe Ruth stroke out1330 times, but he also hit 714 homeruns. Don't worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss, when you don't even try.
Strike three.
Get your hand off my knee.
You're overdrawn.
Your horse won.
Yes.
No.
You have the account.
Walk.
Don't walk.
Mother's dead.
Basic events
require simple language.
Idiosyncratically euphuistic
eccentricities are the
promulgators of
triturable obfuscation.
What did you do last night?
Enter into a meaningful
romantic involovement
or
fall in love?
What did you have for
breakfast this morning?
The upper part of a hog's
hind leg with two oval
bodies encased in a shell
laid by a female bird
or
ham and eggs?
David Belasco, the great
American theatrical producer,
once said, "If you can't
write your idea on the
back of my calling
card,
you don't have a clear idea."
