What Wie needs to do to W.I.N.

A lovely Ph.D. has penned an article titled “Spelling out the steps Michelle Wie must take to succeed.” The nucleus of the article is a mneumonic device, in the form of the acronym FORWARD, and isn’t life just tidy! This sweet tidiness is what BJ and Mrs. BJ Wie have tried to make out of Michelle’s life, to no avail. Sad, isn’t it? Although some of Ph.D. Silby’s points are salient enough, stooping to the acronym leaves a bad aftertaste. The most appropriate point is WIN, no matter what level. Go to the Future’s Tour (what is it called now?), go anywhere and win!

Here is my own acronym for Wie…W.I.N. The “W” stand for WHY, as in why are your parents around, all the time, reliving their lives through you? The “I” stands for I, as in I, Michelle Wie, need to take charge of my own life. The “N” stands for NOW, as in Now is the time for me to get a freakin’ life.

Put them together and chant with me…Why I Now, Why I Now, Why I Now.
