Sometimes, you just need a spark of inspiration.

How goes it, my crowd? 

New week. Hope everyone had a good first start. I ordered a giant sponge on eBay and it arrived instantly. Makes me wonder if I live next door to the seller or something. 

Be ready for anything.
Some say to expect the worst and you'll never be disappointed. However, if you only focus on the worst case scenario, you might keep yourself from shooting for the stars and achieving something you never thought possible. To put it simply, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. You might have farther to fall if you reach that high and fail, but a life spent at the bottom is still a life wasted. Not everything will come easy in life, and there is no such thing as a painless lesson. So the best thing to do is plan for everything. Hope for the best, expect the worst, be prepared for anything else. That may sound like you are making a lot of plans. A plan to succeed, a plan to recover from failure, and maybe a plan for any other factors you can think of. True, you can't always plan for everything; life will always have a wild card you can't predict. However, if you are prepared for as many possibilities and probabilities as possible, then you are prepared to Never Give Up. That's how you win at life. That's how you succeed. You might make mistakes and fail sometimes, but instead of being defined by failure, you'll learn from it. You'll pick yourself up and keep trying. You'll go further than ever before. And most of all, you'll be better for it.

Take care, my crowd.
