The dirty work

Show me a guy who’s afraid to look bad and I’ll show you a guy you can beat every time.

Many things in life involve the risk of defeat, the risk of failure.

You have to take those risks, you have to agree to the chance of looking absolutely stupid. That’s the only way to actually achieve something. Don’t be too uptight.

Endless possibilities!

Wether one is 20, 40 or 60; wether one has succeeded, failed or just muddled along; wether yesterday was full of sun or storm, or one of those dull days with no weather at all, life begins each morning! Each morning is the open door to a new world – new vistas, new aims, new tryings.
