Cinderella Story

"Cinderella story...outta nowhere.  A former greenskeeper now, about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac... It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole!"


-Carl Spackler, "Caddyshack"




Whenever I bump into the phrase "Cinderella Story" I can’t help but think of Carl as he espouses “outta nowhere.” but is that really what Cinderella is all about?


Not quite.  The real message

Douglas Adams
“Vogon poetry is of course, the third worst in the universe.
The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by their poet master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem "Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning" four of his audience died of internal haemorrhaging and the president of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off. Grunthos was reported to have been "disappointed" by the poem's reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his 12-book epic entitled "My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles" when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.
The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator, Paul Neil Milne Johnstone of Redbridge, in the destruction of the planet Earth. Vogon poetry is mild by comparison.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

“The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel, who have dreams, who want to do things. Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft." - Will Smith”
