“Tomorrow, I am fifty-two years old. And I want to say unequivocally that I am very happy to be alive, that being alive is better than being dead. And if I have just one wish it is this: that you work with all your might and love with all your heart and never lose hope and never give up.” IfsWantGivingYearsHeartTwoMightWishLosesAliveTomorrowGiving UpAnd LoveJust OneFiftyTwo YearsVery HappyNever Giving UpTwo Year OldsNever Lose HopeHappy To Be Alive Author:Betsy Lerner
“The world doesn’t fully make sense until the writer has secured his version of it on the page. And the act of writing is strangely more lifelike than life….every person who does serious time with a keyboard is attempting to translate his version of the world into words so that he might be understood…. Your job is to marshal the talent you do have and find people who believe in your work. What’s important, finally, is that you create, and that those creations define for you what matters most, that which cannot be extinguished even in the face of silence, solitude, and rejection.” PeopleWorldWritingBelievePersonsDoeImportantMatterMightJobsFacesSilenceTalentCreationSeriousSolitudePagesUnderstoodVersionsMake SenseRejectionTranslateWhat MattersBelieve In YouAttemptingWhat's ImportantKeyboardsSecured Author:Betsy Lerner
