Four words. We stopped. We looked at each other. We didn&rsquo;t need to say anything.</p> <p><em>Too small to fail.</em></p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been carrying those words since. This is my attempt to explain why.</p> <p><em>BTW: I&rsquo;m writing here for the same reason I do most things: I need structure to understand, and I need to understand to remember. This is my corner outside my head — a place to shape thoughts, ask questions, and share things worth the time. This is my first post.</em></p>
