go all the way

• ing. her yola geliyormusun.
• ing. her türlü gideri var.
• (bkz: charles bukowski)
  
  “ıf you’re going to try, go all the way.
  otherwise, don’t even start.
  this could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind.
  ıt could mean not eating for three or four days.
  ıt could mean freezing on a park bench.
  ıt could mean jail.
  ıt could mean derision.
  ıt could mean mockery — isolation.
  ısolation is the gift.
  all the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it.
  and, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds.
  and it will be better than anything else you can imagine.
  ıf you’re going to try, go all the way.
  there is no other feeling like that.
  you will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire.
  you will ride life straight to perfect laughter.
  ıt’s the only good fight there is.”

• sanırım sevdiğim tek şiir bu. yıllardır hedef yolunda heves kırıcı, cesaret örseleyici, onur bükücü, enerji emici ne varsa; o sıralarda bu şiir aklıma geliyor. bukowski bey burada "yarım götle iş yapmamanın anlam ve önemi"nden dem vurmuş ve bize biraz kibirlice ama işe yarar nasihatlerde bulunmuş.
