The Grand Gesture

Written on June 27, 2010 by Adam Kmiec in Misc.

I’ve alluded to the idea of the grand gesture before. I’m a big fan of the grand gesture. The grand gesture is truly the embodiment of the phrase, “go big or go home.”

The beauty of the grand gesture is you’ll find you’ll never live with regret, because when you lay it all on the line you’ll never have to wonder if you could have done something more.

Most people avoid the grand gesture. It’s a scary proposition. If you go big, if you pursue the grand gesture you have a 50/50 proposition of it blowing up in your face. Think about the number of times you’ve seen someone propose on the jumbotron at a sports game only to see the potential bride to be, say no? Ouch! But that’s the risk.

I’ve had a lot of success with the grand gesture and I’ve had it blow up in my face. Regardless of the outcome I’ve never had any regrets and that’s a beautiful thing. I encourage you to go big. I encourage you to pursue the grand gesture. I think you’ll be glad you did.

“I’ve had a lot of success with the grand gesture and I’ve had it blow up in my face.” Ditto, Adam. Going big usually either succeeds big or explodes equally huge. Both equally rewarding in my mind. The merits of success certainly don't need explanation. And though initial explosions can knock me off my feet, I get up and so dig the challenge of going big, i don't mind an ass full of shrapnel now and again to net the knowledge/wisdom/learning it often brings. The grand gesture also goes hand in hand with the eloquent gesture… because being able to communicate the grand gesture in as grand a way as the gesture itself is a certified double-threat. all best, Tranq
