keep the head

Used mainly in Ireland and also sometimes in the United Kingdom. Used to encourage one to be calm, cool and not to over react under pressure.

Derives from the the involuntary thoughtless movements/convulsions that chickens experience for a brief moment after having their heads choped off.

Keep On Running

Keep On Running - a metaphor to not ever give up and to keep moving forward in life. It is based on the concept that life is journey and in your journey is a personal race to successfully get to and cross the finish line of success and accomplishment. In the race of life are your trials, tribulations, setbacks, and struggles, and it is a marathon and not a sprint. Used in the writings of The RhymistGift and The Consummate Transitioner based on Aesop’s fable “The Tortoise and the Hare.”
Life is a race, and the only way to get to the finish line is to keep on running. Keep on running your race and do not ever stop until you have crossed the finish line. The tortoise was not the swiftest or the strongest, but he won the race, because he kept on running (did not give up) and crossed the finish line. Life is not fair or equal, but you can win your personal race, if you keep on running.

Keep Trying Guy

When a man messes up and is dragged through the dirt, fired from his job, and ostracized by his friend group because his moral failing publicly humiliated his coworkers/buddies, tarnished their reputations, and resulted in a lack of brand alignment.
Friend #1: "Did you hear about that YouTube guy that tries stuff? He cheated on his wife and was fired by his friends, the other 'try dudes', who called his actions and inappropriate behavior a 'betrayal'."

Friend #2: "Well, if he's looking to make a comeback, he could just create his own YouTube channel and call it the 'Keep Trying Guy'. He can talk about his issues and what he's learned from his mistakes. Who knows, maybe people will stop villainizing him for being human..."
Friend #1: "Huh... The dude was a hypocrite, though. He cheated on his wife after calling himself the 'wife guy' of the group and building his brand around that..."
Friend #2: "Well, all men have their moments... Their 'Keep Trying Guy' moments..."
