souvenir . . . create yourself . . .

  • Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
    — George Bernard Shaw —

    Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.
    — Golda Meir —

    To change your life: start immediately; do it flamboyantly; no exceptions.
    — William James —

    The best way to predict the future is to create it.
    — Peter F. Drucker —

    If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.
    — Maya Angelou —

    We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
    — Buddha —

    The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
    — Michelangelo —

. . . tell me what you see . . .

What we see depends mainly on what we look for. (JOHN LUBBOCK)

It all depends on how we look at things, and not on how things are in themselves. The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it. (CARL JUNG)

A child on a farm sees a plane fly overhead and dreams of a faraway place. A traveler on the plane sees the farmhouse below and dreams of home. (ROBERT BRAULT)

Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not. (GEORGE BERNARD SHAW)

What was most significant about the lunar voyage was not that men set foot on the moon, but that they set eye on the earth. (NORMAN COUSINS)

Don’t think of organ donations as giving up part of yourself to keep a total stranger alive. It’s really a total stranger giving up almost all of themselves to keep part of you alive. (AUTHOR UNKNOWN)
