WHERE GREATNESS LIES?

Posted in My Damn Channel with tags Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller, TIME magazine, My Damn Channel on 5/7/2008 10:22:43 PM by Rob Barnett



Ben Stiller praises Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. in TIME magazine & says, "he is not afraid to try something fully, knowing it could end in disaster but also understanding that that is where greatness lies."

If it stands alone, the quote is a bit out of context - it's not referring to IRON MAN but to an upcoming film directed by Ben & starring Robert - as a black man.

I grabbed hold of the quote thinking about an old rule to NEVER use the word "TRY." If you think "TRY" - you're thinking you may not actually get THERE.

DOING it - is better. Thanks to every co-con for a biggest week ever in Damnland.
