It’s difficult to find substance in so few words, but I believe you have found it. It succinctly addresses the goal of all, really, all artists: to be appreciated. If your longer works are this neat and articulate, I intend to keep reading.

This speaks to me, and I think is a statement that many people will be able to apply to themselves, while at the same time is definitely a “memoir.”  It works well for the project, but may not be quite witty enough to grab people’s attention.  I’m also curious as to why you’ve left off the period at the end.  It looks sloppy to leave off such a small detail.  Good job overall.

It’s okay. I wasn’t bowled over and it’s not untrue.

LOVED IT!
Short, quick, simple and straight to the point.

As your second to last word says…its “true.”

Good job….
IT’S GOOD!

This is more like a quote that we all try to introduce into our daily lives. It lacks a unique appeal because it is so universal

I like it, but I find it too impersonal for a memoir.

I think you don’t need to say “true excellence”. Excellence is something subjective, it’s hard do define it as true. Maybe “perfection” was closer to what you had in mind.

I like this.
Its very true.
Nobody can really achieve until they overcome the fear of failure.

Gets the message across… but is it really possible to achieve true excellence? Maybe “reaching for excellence”? Just an idea :)
