What I point out to people is that it's silly to be afraid
that you're not going to get what you want if you ask.
Because you are already not getting what you want. They
always laugh about that because they realize it's so true.
Without asking you already have failed, you already have
nothing. What are you afraid of? You're afraid of getting
what you already have! It's ridiculous! Who cares if you
don't get it when you ask for it, because, before you ask
for it, you don't have it anyway. So there's really nothing
to be afraid of.
- Marcia Martin

"Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared
of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our
hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to
scream. And we shout with the others, When we should keep our mouths shut.
Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be
afraid. JUST DO IT."

pauper.
