In my whole life I have never been just handed anything, then again who among us has? When in life are you ever given everything you need to succeed? I believe that Tim Gunn says it best whenever he stands in front of all the wannabe fashion designers clutching their last bit of fabric with only 20 minutes to turn it into something fabulous. "Make it work," he says, and they alsways do. Isn't this exactly the way life works? It certainly is for me.
In life we are always short on one of two things, time and materials, sometimes we are short on both. Either way, you have to make it work. I live on my own and when thee bills are due and the materials are short, the materials being in this case money, you have to make it work!
Whenever life throws obstacles in your path, or presents you with challenges as they do on Project Runway, You've got to make it work.
You just have to because in life there are no second chances or do overs, you simply play the hand that you are given and hope against all odds that you can turn it into something fabulous.
Make it Work!

well said Pearl! I think that all those ppl who give up on the first try, should learn this from you.
ReplyDeleteGood motto, sometimes in life you have no choice but to make it work, it is especially true when you have other people depending on you to do what you have to do.
ReplyDeleteHi Pearl,
ReplyDeleteAWESOME philosophy! I can relate to what your saying, sometimes you just gotta make it work!
This reminds me of a very similar motto: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade". Basically I agree with you, you have to make the most of what you have. Sure it would be easier with more money, better materials, or less stressfull situations but you would definitely not learn as much from them.
ReplyDeleteI can relate, good motto its not always going to be the way you want it.
ReplyDeleteHey Thanks everyone! By the way my name is Pearlie, not Pearl... Lol, no big deal.
ReplyDeleteHey Pearlie,
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot! It's very positive and keeps ya going!! :)
I agree with you, you always got to make with what you have.
ReplyDeleteI like the dualism you used comparing fashion designers with your own life, both doing what is needed in-order to accomplish goals.
ReplyDelete"Making it work" is all anyone has ever done. It's a good model for how to live your life.

ReplyDeleteeveryone wants to improve and succeed but to do this you have to deal with whatever situation that your in.
You have a great point of view. I have found myself making it work lately, so your philosophy is a great personal moto for me.
ReplyDeleteyour bumper sticker is a great skill to have in life,since we rarely have all we wish for at different times in life.
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome philosophy Pearl! We can all relate to this in one way or another because as students we are ALWAYS pressed for time!

ReplyDeletehahaha
I like the motto, we all are crunched for time so it is a trick to "make it work."
ReplyDeleteI agree with your motto. Not all things go your way, but if you keep fighting and never give up...you can "make it work".
