How to get into Second Life without really trying
Selby Evans is Thinkerer Melville in Second Life
And if you do nothing, you can expect success?
We are in a room. There is no exit. The bare, concrete walls are covered with slogans left by people who have been here before us.
Any plan that doesn't work is a trial run.
There are no unsuccessful people. Only unsuccessful choices.
I don’t believe it.—Luke Skywalker. That is why you fail.—Yoda.
You don't have to plan to fail; all you have to do is fail to plan.
Sometimes a big step is safer; you can't cross a ditch in small jumps.
Trust the force, Luke.
Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good.
The biggest risk is a missed opportunity.
If you worry about what people think of you,
whose opinion is most important to
you?
If you want rainbows, chase storms.
Defeat is advance payment for victory.
The only public part of the success story is the last act.
If you always succeed, you are overqualified for your job.
The road to success is paved with mistakes.
Confidence carries no new powers. It merely ignites
the powers you have.
Confidence is the secret passage to authority.
The secret of confidence is to know your resources.
I have not failed, I've just found 1,000 ways that won't work.
—Thomas Edison.
I wish I had…
Always enough time to fix it, but never enough time to do it right in the first
place.
If you hit a dead end, turn around.
An ounce of success is worth a pound of positive thinking.
For all the sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest of these: 'It might have
been."
We are not smart enough to improve on the wisdom of these walls. We can only point to the wisdom of those who have been in this room before. And are not here now.
These slogans don’t all point in the same direction.
They don’t tell a person what to do.
A person must choose. That is the price of being a person.
Nobody else can do it for you. You gotta go there by yourself.
