listening to Larry King

I remind myself 

every morning: 

Nothing I say 

this day will 

teach me anything. 

So if I'm going

 to learn, 

I must do so 

by listening.

the importance of failure ... Tom Robbins

Go ahead and fail. 

But fail with wit, 

fail with grace, 

fail with style … 

Embrace failure! 

Seek it out. 

Learn to love it. 

That may be the only way

 any of us will ever be free.
