… is not trying.

The early bird catches the worm.

A stitch in time saves life.

He who hesitates is lost.

We can’t pretend we haven’t been told.

We’ve all heard the proverbs.
Heard the philosophers.
Heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time.
Heard the damn poets urging us to seize the days.

Still sometimes, we have to see for ourselves.
We have to make our own mistakes.
We have to learn our own lessons.
We have to sweep today’s possibility unto tomorrow’s rug.
Until we can’t anymore.
Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin meant.

That knowing is better than wondering.
That waking is better than sleeping.

And that, even the biggest failure, even the worst most in tractable mistakes beats the hell of out of never trying.

by Meredith. Grey’s Anatomy. Season 1. Episode 6.

“That knowing is better than wondering. That waking is better than sleeping.”

So true. I can so much testify to it in the working world. So much that has happened and really, nothing beats the hell out of never trying. You’ll never know what holds next if you never try.

Guess it applies to love and relationship as well which is what Grey’s Anatomy is all about too. Most TV series are, duh!

I’ve got more episodes to catch up. So yeah, till then. Catcha…
