But First, Let Me Tell You a Little Story:

"I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places.  
He told me to stop going to those places." 

"The patient says, "Doctor, it hurts when I do this."   
"Then don't do that!"

"I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps   
finding her way back."

"The horse I bet on was so slow, the jockey   
kept a diary of the trip."

"There was a girl knocking on my hotel room   
door all night! Finally, I let her out."

"My Grandmother is over eighty and still doesn't   
need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle." 

I'll never forget one evening back about 1993.     
I was entertaining at a benefit dinner party   
in an old San Jose nightclub.  

The after-dinner speaker was veteran comedian   
Henny Youngman.  Master of the quick one-liner,   
and one of my all-time favorite comics.

Standing with his violin, he'd play a few notes   
between jokes.  Which were two short sentences: 

First: Tell the story quickly.  

Second: Deliver the punch.  

Knocked me out!  

He had us laughing over a half hour with   
a ton of these classic one-liners.  Starting   
with his signature:  

"Take my wife.  Please". 

And another one I'll always remember:

A bum came up to me saying, "I haven't   
eaten in two days!" I said, "Force yourself!"

What a great line!  It's been one of my favorites  
ever since.  I think of it whenever someone tells 

me they're stuck on a project and can't go on.  

I'd like to say, "Force yourself!"  Just put   
yourself where you need to be, remove   
obvious distractions, and go for it!"

Just set a goal and imagine a few "easy-to-do"   
steps to reach it.  Then stick out your foot   
and take that first step.

Really, what's the worst that could happen?    
Possibly your first attempt might be so awful, 

you'll die from embarrassment.  

More likely, though, your first try will be   
pretty decent and show the way to improve 

the next step.

Are YOU stuck on a project right now?  

Let's say, for example, you're planning   
a party and can't decide the perfect music 

to set the mood you want.

Well, don't just sit there.  Figure where you 

want to wind up and ask yourself how you can 

get there.  What do you need to decide first?

So ask a friend for suggestions.  Ask someone 

who's done this before.  Ask a professional 

party planner.  

Or for goodness sake, ask a few musicians.
