A Key Ring
ambition
“Suppose i were to give you a key ring… with a hundred keys, and I were tell you that one of these keys will unlock it, this door we’re imagining opening in onto all you want to be as a player. How many of the keys would you be willing to try?”

“Well, I’d try every darn one, Rader tells Lyle.
“Then, you are willing to make mistakes, you see… You are saying you will accept 99% error. The paralysed perfectionist you say you are would stand there before that door. Jingling the keys. Afraid to try the first key.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest.
