DON'T TRY

The epitaph on Charles Bukowki's head stone reads 'DON"T TRY'

I read an article about Charles Bukowski this week and discovered this interesting fact. The interviewer recalls a conversation with Linda Bukowski who explained the meaning thus.

"Yeah, I get so many different ideas from people that don’t understand what that means. Well, Don’t Try? Just be a slacker? lay back?” No!
Don’t try, do. Because if you’re spending your time trying something, you’re not doing it…”

Charles Bukowski, the man cuts through the shit with a large knife.
