    Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.

    Geez, if I could get through to you, kiddo, that depression is not sobbing and crying and giving vent, it is plain and simple reduction of feeling. Reduction, see? Of all feeling. People who keep stiff upper lips find that it’s damn hard to smile.
    —Judith Guest (b. 1936)

    Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
    That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.
