When It Comes Right Down to It  

“I’d rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a

could be is a maybe who reached for a star. I’d

rather be a has been than a might have-been

 has been, but a has an are.”

Milton Berle 1908 - 2002, American Comedian    

 

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

When it comes right down to it

 

I rather be a person that has tried . . . . and not yet succeeded then a person that did not try.

 

I rather be a person . . . . that has been knocked down as a result of my efforts . . . . then a person that did not take the risk to succeed.  For I can always get up . . . . and try again.

 

I would rather stretch . . . . and reach for the moon . . . . and come up with just hand full of stars rather then not have stretched. Because . . . .  I can always stretch again for another hand full of stars.

 

I would rather live my life . . .  .and to continue to reach . . . . and try. Rather then to listen to other people . . . . tell me what I can’t do.

 

Live your life stretching for your goals . . . . and reaching for the stars both are there for you When you’re willing to reach and try.

 

I rather be me . . . . with a vision . . . . and a dream . . . . and reach for them until I achieve them.

 

When it comes right down to it . . . . out of all the people I could be . . . . I rather be me.

Good morning Lou. Had never read this quote before, actually had to read it a couple of times before I understood it.

Hi Lou.  Like Joe, I had to read and re-read this a few times before the light went on inside my small head.  A wonderful quote from Uncle Milty.

This is so true, Lou. I really don't want to be anyone else, but me (except maybe the Queen of England ).
