PHILOSOPHY
Some quotations that I like:
"If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas." - George Bernard Shaw
"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal."
- Henry Ford
"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning." - Albert Einstein
"Little evil would be done in the world if evil never could be done in the name of good."
- Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will." - Vince Lombardi
"If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability."
- Henry Ford
"A man who won't die for something is not fit to live."
- Martin Luther King
"What a blessing it would be if we could open and shut our ears as easily as we open and shut our eyes!"
- Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
"If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.
- Albert Einstein
"Real heroes are men who fall and fail and are flawed, but win out in the end because they've stayed true to their ideals and beliefs and commitments."
- Kevin Costner
"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."
- Eleonor Roosevelt
"Cynic: A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be."
- Ambrose Bierce

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
the birth of a calf/steer during a work travel. A little messy and wet... but still, was the beginning of a life there! Or a future-beef... depends on the point of view :-P
Teach, Learn, Share
I do have a harmonica, i'm not that good with it, but i think we can make some noise ! Don't like music ? Ok, we can drink ! (don't drink ? Soda maybe ?) Ok, let's play cards or go out to eat! I'm sure we'll figure something out :-)
What I Can Share with Hosts
Food and bath, but I got no extra mattress, you would need to bring your 'layable' surface...
