Timo Cruz from Coach Carter– Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Andru Edwards– If you have someone you care about, call them today. If you have someone you are angry at, forgive them and move on. If you have someone you miss, send them an email. If you have someone you haven’t thought of in a while, think of them, whether they are with us today or not. 9/11 proved, all too grim, that life is far too short. Embrace it and live it, enjoy it, don’t squander it. Don’t forget those who add to your happiness and appreciate them, all of them, because you never know when you might find out they are gone forever.
Bill Clinton– If you try enough things and are ambitious enough, you’re going to fail at some. The thrill of this is trying to do it.
Muhammad Yunus – Culture is a dynamic thing. If you stay with the same old thing over and over, you don’t get anywhere.
Bono – When I was a kid in Dublin, I watched in awe as America put a man on the moon. We thought, you know, this is “mad.” Nothing is impossible in America. In America, they can do anything over there.
John F. Kennedy – We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes.
Robert Kennedy – Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
Henry Miller – Our destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things
Eleanor Roosevelt – Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.
Howard Thurman – Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
If you’ve never failed, you’ve never lived
Be Fearful of Mediocrity
That every passing minute is a another chance to turn it all around.
Life is a coin, you can spend it any way you like, but you can only spend it once.
From “Curious Case of Benjamin Button” movie – For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
here’s to the crazy ones….because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
