Today we have a quote!
“Holding back is so close to stealing.” – Neil Young
To hold back means to withhold or to not do something or to not give something.
This episode is about taking chances in our lives.
You may feel like you can’t be yourself in English.
Maybe you are funny in your native language but you don’t know how to be funny in English so you hold back.
But if you do that then you are “stealing” from the moment as this quote says.
What do you think?
When have you erred on the side of perfection and protection by protecting yourself and when have you erred on the side of connection by taking a chance?
