my mom reminded me of the existence of this, she was living in italy and was a little kid who thought this was actual english. the artist made this song with the intention of making it sound like it's in english to prove that italians will listen to anything that sounds american

Progress isn’t always about getting better. Sometimes it’s about bouncing back.

Success is not only the peaks you reach—it’s the valleys you conquer. Every experience of enduring adversity and overcoming obstacles is a meaningful accomplishment.

Resilience is a form of growth.

Quick cheat sheet to get people to read the first 10 pages of your script, which is the first battle:
Prove you're a good writer who can grab an audience on page 1.
Tell 'em whose story they're in and what it is by page 5.
Plant something they MUST KEEP READING to know by 10.
