Keep your eye on the ball and other cliches to live by
(Book)

Clichés have a bad reputation. Authors try to avoid them. Readers find them annoying. Yet despite such criticism, these well-worn phrases persist. Perhaps the reason clichés stick around is that we all can attest to firsthand experiences that have warranted their application. In most cases, actions really do speak louder than words, and keeping our eyes on the ball is important whether we are playing contact sports or striving to reach a professional goal. With witty observations and profound insights, Carolyn Lee's book, Keep Your Eye on the Ball and Other Clichés to Live By, guides readers through a thought-provoking exploration of everyday clichés. Packed with humorous anecdotes about friendship and relationships as well as sensible phrases for life’s tougher moments, each familiar cliché carries within it an unexpected depth that just might make all the difference in your day. Each proverb has a meaning which can help us recall formative moments from past experiences. Filled with wisdom applicable to any stage of life, the book will inspire readers to reflect on their own commonly used clichés as they accompany Carolyn on her own journey to hunt for meaning in these mundane phrases.
