The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Sure, sometimes you just can't win. Everybody knows that. Almost everybody says that. And, some people are caught up in the habit of thinking and talking like that.

Why not make a habit of saying, "Sometimes you just can win!"

People think 600-700 words per minute. People talk 100-200 words per minute. Most people listen...maybe 1 or 2.
