Frazz by Jef Mallett for February 25, 2024

If you want to be good at something, you have to be willing to be bad at it at first and build from there.

Audentes Fortuna Iuvat

That brings up the old maxim, if you try to fail and do, did you succeed?

…not without a note of reason there. More than I usually expect out of our boy.

Experts know how to avoid mistakes. The got that way by making mistakes.

I don’t necessarily think it means you can’t be bad at something, I think it means don’t be satisfied with being something you’re bad at. Find something to be good at!

(that said, I am really good at being bad at ping-pong, but since it’s just ping-pong, I’m not fussed.)

Fortune favours the bold or Audentes Fortuna Iuvat

To be a real success at something you usually have to risk failure.

One saying we used was, “This is important enough to fail at.”

Or, “Failure is always an option.”

Love this!

Q: What is learning? A: winning. Q: What is failure? A: leaning.

Let’s hope that’s not my doctor’s credo.

Life is more exciting if you’re not afraid to make a fool of yourself! Good morning y’all.

Of the many things I’ve “been”, I’ve mostly been poor.

That first quote is attributed to Abraham Lincoln. He is turning in his grave right now.

I can be a good bad example.

Not bad!

Not the best advice for munitions handlers or brain surgeons.

Geometrically speaking, this is a fascinating new apportionment of the available space in a Sunday strip. Kudos to the imaginative use of rectangles.

Just try not to make a mess, okay?

hey, it’s a start, Caulie!

Like a fencing coach once told my son: if you want to be good at something, you have to be bad at it first.
