That doesn’t precisely work for me. Highly effective, I like, however I can do with out the laborious and metal-y. As a substitute, after I’m crafting my excellent record, I’m on the lookout for energy that comes from a barely totally different supply.

And I need Elton John promising that regardless of something which will have occurred earlier than—that PR fail, that harm that sidelined you, and even that dialog together with your boss that you just biffed earlier within the day—you’ll be able to at all times come again higher than you have been earlier than.
