Your Life, Six Words

Once when asked to write a story about his life in six words, Ernest Hemingway wrote "For Sale: Baby Shoes, never worn".

Smith Magazine has started a trend of asking people to describe a day, define their life, or explain whatever they want, using only 6 words.

Here are some of my favorite six word memoirs I came across:


Asked to quiet down, spoke louder

This time, I'll get it right

Ran with Scissors, Learning First Aid

iPod, iPad, iPhone, iMac, iBook, iBroke

Shoes perpetually untied, Yet rarely trip.

Never really finished anything, except cake


I am still working on my six words but so far I have come up with:

So far, so good, much remains

Without all answers, plenty of questions


How would you define your life in six words???
