What do you think? Number 9.
Back to the world of Hollywood with Mikiko's choice. She chose a quote from Katharine Hepburn, an American film star.
"What the hell --- you might be right, you might be wrong... but don't just*avoid*."
Mikiko's comment was -
When I was a freshman, oh my goodness, three years ago, I was in the hardest time.I was the leader for making our club newspaper. I had two choices about an issue. Some members insisted I was correct, and others agreed with my idea. I was considering what was the most important because I wanted to respect all ideas of the members. I found may be I could be right and wrong. There was no correct answer. I was the very person who needed to make a decision. Still I wonder my decision was correct or not, but I have no regret. Now again, I was in the hardest time for my univ. life. Direction. Whereshould I go??? The answer is that I have, I believe. Any choice could be right or wrong, but if I avoid to make a decision or effort, I am absolutely wrong with great regrets.

Mikiko,
I am puzzled. What do the asterisks on either side of the word *avoid* signify? Were they in the original quote or did you add them?
Kouichi asked what 'What the hell meant'. It's a very idiomatic phrase and we use it when we are about to to something, regardless of the consequences. For example, we want to have a picnic, but it's raining. We might say, "What the hell, let's have the picnic anyway, who cares if we get wet!".
Some people think 'hell' is a bad word and change the phrase to, "What the heck."
