About Me

CURRENT MISSION

teach, learn, share & inspire

ABOUT ME

Life is short.. we only have one chance to go where we want to go, do the things we want to do, and be who we want to be!

I think that if you really want something in life, you will try to make it happen. Why wait until tomorrow.. today is perfect!

PHILOSOPHY

Some quotes:

'Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.â€'

'Actions express priorities.' -Gandhi

'The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.' -Carl Jung

'It is hard to fail but is worse never to have tried to succeed.' - Theodore Roosevelt

'One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.' -Ralph Waldo Emerson

'Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.' -Dale Carnegie

'The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say 'no' - they may not be smart enough to say 'yes'.' Keith Olbermann
