PE 2/24 Amy Poehler Speech – Part 4

My work with the upright citizens brigade led me to my work on Saturday Night Live, and when I graduated from that comedy college, I was worried about what came next.
* upright: honest; honorable; respectable
ex> Gerald is an upright citizen in our community.
Note> This also means vertical or erect.
ex> Please put your seat in the upright position.
* brigade: 단체

Then Parks and Recreation came along, a show I am proud of where I get to work with people I love. You never know what is around the corner unless you peek.
* come alone: to appear
ex> She married the first nice guy that came alone.
ex> Whatever comes alone in life is what we will live with.
* around the corner: just ahead of us; in the near future
ex> My new job is so exciting because I never know what’s around the corner.

You can blame them when things go wrong. Take your risks now. As you grow older, you become more fearful and less flexible. And I mean that literally.
* go wrong: for an event or situation to have significant problems.
= don’t work out; don’t turn out; don’t go your way
ex> With his positive attitude, Darren could not go wrong.

Try to keep your mind open to possibilities and your mouth closed on matters that you don’t know about. Limit your “always” and your “nevers.”
* keep one’s mind open: to not disregard or ignore
ex> Our secret to finding the right house was to keep our minds open.
