Inspiration...

Suddenly felt like a bit of inspiration....just a time to chill and reflect - what's been happening in life so far. Never lose sight of goals and dreams. Failures or successes are just part of the road of learning. Something that will never cease. Day by day our knowledge accumulates, day by day we learn and make mistakes, but ultimately, what is important is not to make the same mistake twice. Sounding sentimental i know, but in one of those moods right now.

Sometimes I wish I could look into a crystal ball and see where I would be in 10 years time. What I would be doing...what path I will be on. But doing that would just ruin the fun of life wouldn't it? Life is one filled with laughters and tears....without either or these will be a boring one. Sure everyone wants to be happy forever, day after day, but life just isn't that simple. In fact, if all that one ever felt was happiness guess that it won't be long before you wont be able to feel anymore happiness. Its the surprises and unplanned events that keep us going. The venture into the unknown, the uncertain. Never is there really a dead-end unless you refuse to look beyond. In fact, what you think as the worst of situations at that point in time, may even be a blessing in disguise. Don't exactly know what I'm getting at - but maybe its just that whatever really happens, it all happens for a reason - for better or worse - leading to the road of discovery. Enough crap for now! :p

“Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.” - W. Clement Stone

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.” - Mary Anne Radmacher

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs

“Try and fail, but don't fail to try.” - Stephen Kaggwa

“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope”

“Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that. That's nonsense. Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.” - Douglas Bader

“I do believe that when we face challenges in life that are far beyond our own power, it's an opportunity to build on our faith, inner strength, and courage. I've learned that how we face challenges plays a big role in the outcome of them.” - Sasha Azevedo

“The best thing for being sad,” replied Merlyn, beginning to puff and blow, “is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."” - Theodore H. White
