Aphorisms
“If you try and fail you will learn, if you never try, you will
never learn.”
“If you try to go to a battle for the first time and come out
as a wounded soldier, rejoice because otherwise you could
have died. Your life continues, change your mindset. Oth-
ers choose to train, equip themselves with the whole ar-
mor and shrewdly go back to the frontline to showcase
their military prowess for the second time while others will
learn war no more, they resign from being a soldier. The
latter is better than the former because you will not expect
to become bullet proof because it is a second battle just as
the Shona believed to be in 1896 Chimulenga rebellion.
From a historical point of view and Sigmund Freud’s psy-
choanalysis literary theory, read between lines!”
“If you try to make a decision by flipping a coin and decide
to go best out of three, you already know your decision.”
“If you try to set your own moral thermostat, chances are
a lot of people will be uncomfortable. Integrity left to
define itself becomes evil because everyone ends up
choosing his own standards.”
“If you try, you may fail others, but if you don’t, you fail
yourself.”
“If you wait to do everything until you’re sure it’s right,
you’ll probably never do much of anything.”
“If you wake up each day expecting only the worst, you
can only be pleasantly surprised.”
“If you wake up in the morning, remember, you will never
be this young again, so seize the day.”
