When in doubt, poke the beehive with a stick to see if anything interesting flies out. I clapped my hands. 'I had no idea Pit teams had such pretty cheerleaders. Can you do it again, but with more spirit this time?

About This Quote

'When in doubt, poke the beehive with a stick to see if anything interesting flies out.' The quote is a reference to a famous scene from the movie "The Wizard of Oz". In the scene, Dorothy says to the Scarecrow, "When in doubt, pretend you're a man." A similar idea is expressed in the quote. When you are uncertain about what action is best to take, pretend that something is certain. If you feel that you are on the right path, then stick to it. If not, don't let fear of failure hold you back.
