Frying Pans & Fires

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

Failure is the kid that yells, “The Emperor has no clothes!”

It opens your eyes to who’s fake and who’s real
and all the lies you have to stop believing.

Success is turning way from the imperial procession
and doing your own thing.

Shakespeare for a day:

Meet Kit Marlowe.
Find out what Elizabeth I was like.
Write a groundbreaking play.
Quaff and Brawl and Sing Raucous Songs.
Court Miss Hathaway and talk about Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo and ruin the entire timeline.
