It seems to me that people have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary things if they have the confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don’t. They sit in front of the telly and treat life as if it goes on forever. » Philip Adams July 12, 1939 (Australian Writer)

This second quote is a new occasion of travel for me. Actually I know only two writers from Australia, the fabulous Janet Frame and the sarcastic Clive James, I’m also a huge fan of Jane Campion’s movies. But I got no idea about this economy of this country. Anyway, this quote gave us the occasion to argue last monday, (yes, I pick the quotes on monday) because, some of the club members though it was a little bit showy, restricted, stigmatized and discouraging. Well, I really didn’t have the same feeling. I do think is a positive quote on the contrary,  I don’t think Philip Adams is judging anyone, I saw it like a report of behaviour he have noticed. If I had to answer to the question I ask on the title of the subject, I should say yes. Probably because I’m more into action,  I rather  fail than just dreaming about acting. someday.  Anyway, I don’t try to convince anyone, but when somebody say to me I wish I could do this or this, my answer is always, give it a try. And it’s true that most of the time, I get answers that are more or more good excuses to postpone things till one day is too late and all you got are regrets. I don’t want to have any regrets. So for me this quote is a good inspiration of the week.
