You can bail water 24/7, and no matter how good you are at not sinking, you still have a hole in your boat.
My heart is burning a hole in my chest and every time you speak to me, it keeps sinking, and I'm left with nothing but ashes. I wish she were talking to me, because the more she speaks to me, the more my heart flutters like a rising phoenix. -Karen Quan and Jarod Kintz
If you have to sail in a very stormy weather, take the word 'sinking' out of your dictionary! Success is achieved first in the mind!
