Before you commit

Flower Arranging

  • One tall bloom tipping the whole vase over would frustrate you.
  • Rebuilding the same arrangement three times sounds maddening.
  • Buying fresh stems that wilt in days feels wasteful to you.

Magic Tricks

  • Early performances flopping and getting caught would sting too much.
  • Hours alone perfecting one move before anyone sees it sounds lonely.
  • You want instant payoff, not a year on a single trick.
