I quote George Carlin - "The reason I talk to myself is because I'm the only one whose answers I accept." I'm laughing a little less this morning because old GC got fitted for a pine overcoat this weekend at age 71. He had more quickfire sayings than most, and just about all of them can't be punched in on my family-style blog, baby. Tough luck.

Sure, Carlin was edgier than a high-strung salesman at the end of the month who's short on sales and long on caffeine. But me being me, I decided to put a spin on his quote. The answers really are up to you. Either way, whether you say I can or I can't ... you're right.

So which one are you gonna do? When you see something that you like or want, are you gonna listen to all the stiffs who say you can't get it? I don't care if you talk yourself up or talk yourself into it, but get fired up about getting something done. Thicken up that skin, toughen up that resolve, and burn down anything in your way. Got a problem with that?
