摘要：“Go for it!” I’m notone to hold back. Ispeak my mind, trythings out, and jumpin. But I also knowthere are many timeswhen I should have“gone for it” butdidn’t. I talked myselfout of it—no, I’m not qualified; no, they’lljust say no; no, are you crazy? This is in mylaw library and non-law library life.Wouldthings have been different if I hadn’tsecond-guessed myself and had takenthose chances? Maybe. Maybe not. But Ido find that as I’m now older and wiserthere are times when I think back and say“I should have gone for it.” What’s theworst that can happen? They’ll say no. Andso what? Maybe they’ll say yes the nexttime. One of my favorite sayings is “Chalkit up to experience.” So go for it, and beprepared to chalk it up!
