What If I Get Knocked Down

And if you get knocked down?

Why, you get back up and try again.

What if I fail miserably?

Well, now you perhaps know some things to avoid for next time.

Does everyone fail?

Sooner or later, we all have failures.  It’s what we do with them that matters.

Will my failure hurt?

Perhaps, but not always in a physical sense. 

Will people remember my failures?

Depends on your next successes.  Someone will always be around to remind us of some failure, but does that person really matter in the grand scheme of things?

And now a song.

One Word at a Time

Curiosity and Wonder

In this amazingly diverse world in which we live, always remember to be curious.  Wonder.  And wander too.

What do you want to know that you don’t yet know?  Are you even curious about the unknown? 

Be curious.

And remember to wonder.  Wonder about how you think?  Wonder about the dreams you dream at night.  Wonder about what ifs.  Wonder about all of life.

And always, always wander.  Take back roads, off roads, slow roads, trains, ferry boats to nowhere.  Wander through bookstores.  Wander through museums and gardens, through parks and any other place that intrigues you.

So, to wrap up …

Be curious.

Wonder

Wander

And enjoy your life.
