Everyone has a story...
Everyone has many powerful stories to tell and
people who believe they are mundane,
uninteresting, or unmemorable possess beneath
this mask a vivid, complex, and rich body of stories
just waiting to be told. "

In the early 20th century, American writer Ernest
Hemingway made a bet with a friend who told him he
couldn’t write a story in under ten words. It’s
impossible, they said. Not one to give in, he came
back with this one-line tale.
“For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.”
