Just Do It
This is for all of us who think that life is redundant.
The following lines were written by a kid. It was then used by Nike for its ad campaign.
"Too often we are scared.
Scared of what we may not be able to do.
Scared of what people might think if we tried.
We let our 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 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.
So stop. Risk it.
Try something you have never tried.
Enter a triathlon.
Write a letter to the editor.
Demand a raise.
Go, climb the volcano.
Call winners at the toughest court.
Throw away your television.
Bicycle around your country.
Try bobsledding.
Try baby sitting.
Try anything.
Speak out against the designated hitter.
Travel to a country
where you don't speak the language.
Patent something.
Call her.
You have nothing to lose
and everything, everything,
everything to gain.
Just do it."
