As I am wont to do every now and then, I've been reading a book. Though I just started it, I am quite enjoying it. The book is Truck: A Love Story, by Michael Perry. He writes in a humorous yet philosophical manner which is nice. While he spouts out his big thoughts, he mixes in a large dose of self-depreciative humor just to show he's not so full of himself that he can't see that he's full of it as well.
While reading it, I came across this quote. First the set up. He is talking about his inability to follow through on projects he starts, and he's lack of focus in general. Now the quote:
"Once while speaking to a camp for troubled youth, I looked down at my sandaled feet and noted I had trimmed nine out of ten toenails."
How is this an inspirational quote you ask? Well, this man, who apparently lacks the focus to finish cutting his toenails, was able to start and finish not only one, but three books. No small feat. So, don't doubt yourself too much. In the immortal words of too many Adam Sandler movies, you can do it!
