PSA for anyone giving a pep talk! (A Real Life Example!)

When comparing something to a rocket ship, if the sentence begins like this:

“This [product/service/plan] is like a rocket ship, ready to _____”

Things that would be a good choice to end the sentence would include:

1. take off
2. launch

If you’re feeling particularly fanciful, I might recommend “take flight” as a potential option.

The ending you are Definitely Not Looking For (and yet the one we actually got) would be: “explode”

That’s right. For our post-quarter 2 pep talk, we got “this [thing we’re supposed to be excited about] is like a rocket ship, ready to explode.”

I am feeling decidedly un-pepped. And vaguely unsettled.
