The Words this week are ‘Find words of wisdom’: always be on the lookout for thoughts and ideas that will help you in your profession and on your way through life. And to illustrate this here are five extracts from my own notebook – you do of course keep a notebook, don’t you? The five quotations are about, respectively: stage fright; self-centredness; the difference between show business and sport; age and how to cope with it; and a great virtue.
Frank Sinatra said (as quoted by Tony Bennett) “If the crowd see you’re nervous, they also see that you care”
Shakespeare wrote, in The Taming of the Shrew, “He that is giddy thinks the world turns round.”
Marilyn Monroe broke off her honeymoon with legendary baseball player Joe DiMaggio to entertain adoring American troops in Korea. On her return she said to him “It was so wonderful, Joe. You never heard such cheering” “Yes I have” DiMaggio replied, quietly.
Bruce Tulloh, the champion athlete and running guru, wrote “It’s good to be an athlete when you’re 30, but when you’re 50 it’s essential”
And Jermaine Jackson, on leaving the Big Brother house, said “Kindness is a strength.”
Find words of wisdom.
