Say NO to NO

Isn't it high time someone got negative about negativity?
Yes it is.
Look around. The world is full of things that, according
to nay-Sayers, should never happened.
"Impossible".
"Impractical".
"NO".
And yet "yes".
Yes, continents have been found.
Yes, men have played golf on the moon.
Yes, straw is being turned into biofuel to power cars.
Yes,yes,yes.
What it does it take to turn into yes???
Curiosity. An open mind. A willingness to take risks.
And, when the problem seems most insoluble, when the
challenge is hardest, when everyone else is shaking
their heads, to say : let's go.

regret.

We were so young, so carefree
We had the world on a string
But we didn’t yet know
what the next day would bring

Will I be forced
to grow up too fast?
We’ve got to take it back,
but we can’t change the past

I had so much potential,
that’s what they’ll say
How could one moment
change my life this way?

How were we to know
that one little mistake
would come back to haunt me
with every breath I take?
