“ The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes. ”
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
~ Winston S. Churchill
To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.
A joke is a very serious thing.
This is not the end, this is not even the beginning of the end, this is just perhaps the end of the beginning.
