My Father Always Told Me, You Can

If You Want Something Badly Enough, Make An Attempt. If You Want To Paint, Get A Brush And Do It. If You Want To Sing, Sing. A Lot Of People Get Scared. They're Afraid To Fail. Take That Word Out Of Your Vocabulary. You Don't "fail." You've "tried Your Best."

This Is Something I Consider Enlightenment To Be - And That Is To Give Intellectual Or Spiritual Understanding And To Be Free Of Ignorance, False Beliefs Or Prejudice.

And I Always Think Of Life Like A Giant Wave. You Know, It Rises And It Crests And It Flies, And It's Just Magnificent, And Then It Crashes. And For A Lot Of People, When It Crashes, That's The End, And They Go Down The Deep, Dark Hole Of Depression.
