Jim Hightower – Quoted

2009-09-19Where in the world am I today?: North Vancouver, BC, Canada

“Do something. If it doesn’t work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.”

Jim Hightower, American Radio Commentator, writer, public speaker (1943 – )

Addendum…

“Eventually, if you keep throwing crazy ideas out there like throwing spaghetti on the wall, you’ll be amazed at what sticks…”

–David ‘checkerhead’ Aiken

I think one of the things I liked most about doing the new Hot Dog Show at the PNE was the fact that I gave myself permission to try just about anything. Because I didn’t really have any pre-conceived notions about what ideas would work and which wouldn’t I tried just about anything to get a response from the audience. Along the way I was amazed at which things ‘worked’ and equally surprised by the things that didn’t. Not so much a case of teaching an old dog new tricks as it was a chance to play with a mind wide open to what ever opportunity presented and the wonderful gifts I received everyday from the audiences that watched my shows.
