Studied? Yes!

  A well-known ( trite) line used for both morning whatsapp forwards and inspirational speeches by great leaders.   When you are sitting alone in the corner of the room and brooding about a tought decision to make ,in the settings of a depressing and failure-striken day  , your friend comes by and  puts a hand on your shoulder and says " Don't worry, Just follow your heart and you will do fine" All those encouraging words the arts teachers said, " Listen to the beat, follow your heart and feel the rythm, You will rock the stage tonight!"  What if I said they were all wrong?
