Do you get the feeling with Sarah Palin, in high school, she was voted least likely to write a book and most likely to burn one?
Everybody had to go to some college or other. A business college, a junior college, a state college, a secretarial college, an Ivy League college, a pig farmer's college. The book first, then the work.
Because you've been exposed to Western tonal music, you know after a certain chord sequence what the next possibilities are.

If the song keeps hitting the most likely notes, you'll get bored, and if it's always the least likely ones, you'll get irritated.
When I was a teenager, just about the only thing I could do right was play music. In my graduating class, I was certainly not voted 'Most Literary Boy.' I can assure you I was not voted 'Mostly Likely to Succeed.' I was voted 'Most Musical Boy.' And the music led to the poetry.

A poor child who receives high-quality early childhood development is 40 percent less likely to need special education, twice as likely to attend college and dramatically more likely to survive childhood.
You can't manage [country] the way you would manage a family business.
If a man can't manage his own life, he can't manage a business.
I remember being one of those women who never imagined I would get married and have children. You ask any of my high school friends, and I would have been voted in the class to be the least likely to get married or have children.
