My dear,
You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Sometimes you need a beating. A beating to let you know that what you’re doing right now is weak. A beating to let you know that you’re not at the top of the world; that you have to work to get it, and work to keep it.
Sometimes a kick in the teeth is the wake up call you need. And by sometimes I mean most times.
Falsely yours,
Walter Elias “Walt” Disney
