Lots of other Scouts may have had a plan. I have a dream. Markita sold 3,526 boxes of Girl Scout cookies that year and won her trip around the world. And Everything Else. Markita is no smarter and no more extroverted than thousands of other people, young and old, with dreams of their own.
Many people fail before they even begin because they fail to ask for what they want.
And everyone is selling something. One of my favorite teachers was Mrs. Chapin. Selling is part of the whole world. It takes courage to ask for what you want. Courage is not the absence of fear.
