Quote by Maya Angelou

“Can I do it? I'd rather not try and fail." "That's stupid talk, Maya. Every try will not succeed. But if you're going to live, live at all, your business is trying. And if you fail once, so what? Old folks say, Every shuteye ain't sleep and every goodbye ain't gone. You fail, you get up and try again.”

Other than that, work is just fine.”
