I
decided to write some quotations not about writing. I hope that you can apply
the lessons to every facet of your personal life. Actually, now that I think
about it, you could apply these quotations to writing too—if you think about it
enough.
“Always
do your best. If someone doesn’t like it, the hell with them.” —Rich Ritter
“If
a parent tells you that you can do or be anything you want, understand that
they are only experiencing a natural episode of rapturous delusion. If you are
lucky, the episode will not last beyond puberty.” —Rich Ritter
“If
words have the power to hurt your feelings, you might remedy this personal shortcoming
by spending more time with sarcastic people.”
—Rich Ritter
“The
best lesson I ever got was to lose a Little League baseball game 27 to 4. I
didn’t die. The sun still rose the next day. My family still loved me. And best
of all, the coach showed up at the next game so that we could play again.” —Rich Ritter
“Jerks
are very important to your personal development. Do not retreat from them. If
everyone was nice, you’d never amount to anything.” —Rich Ritter
You
may use these quotations without my permission, but only if you give me proper
credit. Thank you.
