I Try...Mr.Rushdie, but I don't know where I'll end up.

"Go for broke. Always try and do too much.

 Dispense with safety nets. 

Take a deep breath before you begin talking.

 Aim for the stars. 

Keep grinning. 

Be bloody-minded.

 Argue with the world. 

And never forget that writing is as close 

as we get to keeping a hold on the

 thousand and one things--childhood, 

certainties, cities, doubts, dreams, instants, 

phrases, parents, loves--that go on slipping

 , 

like sand, through our fingers." 

— Salman Rushdie
