I came across this quote in this month's Reader's Digest, in an interview with Denzell Washington.
They asked him what his life motto was, and he said, "Do what you got to do so that you can do what you want to do. And fail big."
I like it, but I think I'd like to change the last adjective to "trying."
Do what you gotta do so that you can do what you want to do. And fail trying.
die trying?
haha. I hope ...not? so? I hope not to die, but when I do, to die trying.
Failing big is just as bad (worse/better is debatable and a moot point) than failing small...but just giving up is the worst of all. (:-) If I'm going to make mistakes (*sigh*) I'd rather make them while trying, doing my best, than by giving up.
that is all.

Die trying my best sounds Okay, but the way I want to go (if I get a choice) would be knowing my life (or better yet -- my death) has allowed another to live (whether literally or figuratively).
As for fail trying, that means im learning, which is good, but suceeding, that means iv learned and am ready for the next step of learning.
