twists and turns
half-time
noun [U]a short rest period between the two parts of a sports game:
Italy had a comfortable three-goal lead over France by half-time.
What was the half-time score?
At half time, the score stood at (= was) two all.
Compare full time.
It’s hard to argue with those maxims. They seem self-evident — if not written into the Constitution, then at least part of the cultural water supply that irrigates everything from halftime speeches to corporate lectures to SAT coaching classes.
Truth nuggets can be found in most successful people's lives, but publishing a book to share them with the world is more often than not a business card rather than a well-written, meaningful and rich offering. Half Time is thankfully the latter.
