"Shoot for the moon; if you miss you'll end up in the stars."
Artie Shaw
Why not? Mr. Shaw puts it well with this one. We should always aspire for our greatest dreams. If we fail, we at least have the satisfaction of trying as well as knowledge and experience gained.
Artie Shaw (1910-2004) was an American clarinetist, band leader, and composer. He was widely popular during the 1930's and early 1940's as one of the greatest clarinet players in the world and led one of the greatest big bands of the time. Shaw's difficult personality was matched with an intense intrigue of experimenting with musical styles. He was an early champion of Third Stream music which combined classical with jazz. In 1954 Shaw retired from playing the clarinet as he believed he had taken the clarinet as far as it could go.
