Most fast moving successes have a pair of wax wings adhered to their back — they’ll get the person, venture or project up in the air quickly but won’t keep it afloat for long.

Wanting to fly is not a crime — but wanting to fly without putting in the proper time and energy to build a sturdy pair of wings is a death sentence.

Don’t bring a pair of wax wings to this fight and expect to last the night.

One day these one minute writings will be a big book called “One Minute, Please.” Can I let you know when that day comes?

You can say yes, here.
