You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

My old school slogan from 40 years ago . Our Head Master used to make us recite it at the end of every morning assembly after prayers. I have never forgotten his face nor his passion for education. He said :

"If at first you don't succeed then try and try again" (11 words!)
