so fail. be bad at things. be embarrassed. be afraid. be vulnerable. go out on a limb or two or twelve. and you will fall and it'll hurt. but the harder you fall, the farther you will rise. the louder you fail, the clearer your future becomes. failure is a gift, welcome it. there are people who spend their whole lives wondering how they became the people they became, how certain chances passed them by, why they didn't take the road less traveled. those people aren't you. you have front row seats to your own transformation and in transforming yourself, you might even transform the world. and it will be electric and i promise you it will be terrifying. embrace that; embrace the new person you're becoming. this is your moment. i promise you, it is now, now, not two minutes from now, not tomorrow, but really now. own that; know that deep in your bones. and go to sleep every night knowing that. wake up every morning remembering that. and then...keep going.

Let's have some new cliches.

Samuel Goldwyn (1882 - 1974)

College or Professional. Who demonstrates the best knowledge of the game and is the most entertaining?

My dad always says this and he says. (He's in his late 50's). I asked him about his origin and he said that his dad and people my late grandfather's age used this phrase a lot back in the day.

Does anyone know the history of this saying and where it came from?

I've done some Internet searches and didn't find anything.

Obviously, the phrase implies that the person uttering it is going to do what they want, regardless of what naysayers think. Can anyone shed any light on this turn of phrase.
