roll the dice

if you're going to try, go all the

way,

otherwise, don´t even start.

if you're going try, go all the

way,

this could mean losing girlfriends,

wives, relatives, jobs and

maybe your mind.

go all the way.

it could mean not eating for 3 or

4 days.

it could mean freezing on a

park bench.

it could mean jail,

it could mean derision,

mockery,

isolation.

isolation is the gift,

all the others are a test of your

endurance, of

how much you really want to

do it.

and you'll do it

despite rejections and the

worst odds

and it will be better than 

anything else

you can imagine.

- Charles Bukowski
