"Two Flaming Youths" is an American silent comedy film released on December 17, 1927 by Paramount Pictures. The film stars W. C. Fields, Chester Conklin, & Mary Brian along with a handful of cameos by many Broadway & vaudeville headliners of the time.

W.C. Fields & Chester Conklin were both former vaudevillians. Conklin spent his early years touring with vaudeville stock companies before working as a circus clown. His most well-known work was in Mack Sennett films. Fields attained international success as a silent juggler. He gradually incorporated comedy into his act and was a featured comedian in the Ziegfeld Follies for several years. By 1923, He had become a star on Broadway in "Poppy".  

"Two Flaming Youths" had the most complete version of Fields’ juggling act caught on film. Even more than 1934's "The Old Fashioned Way".

If you wait… will it get easier, or will you just be older?” It’s a simple question—but one that reveals a powerful truth about growth, success, and human behavior.

But here’s the reality: Waiting rarely…

Competition has a bad reputation in some circles. Too often, it’s misunderstood as ego-driven or cutthroat. But real competition—healthy competition—is something very different. It’s not about beating others.It’s about becoming better than you were yesterday. In a recent video I shared, I talk about why you shouldn’t be afraid to compete—and how working hard and believing in yourself are…

Championship moments capture our attention, but they are rarely created in the spotlight. They are built quietly—through discipline, preparation, and unwavering standards.
