Choice, not chance ...


“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives – choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”  - Aristotle

Do It In Pencil

Map out your future - but do it in pencil.
The road ahead is as long as you make it.
Make it worth the trip.

Seven Wonders of the World


A group of students was asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes: 

1. Egypt's Great Pyramids. 
2. Taj Mahal. 
3. Grand Canyon. 
4. Panama Canal. 
5. Empire State Building.
6. St Peter's Basilica.
7. China's Great Wall. 

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many.” 

The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help.” The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:

1. To touch. 
2. To taste. 
3. To see. 
4. To hear. 

She hesitated a little, and then added: - 
5. To feel. 
6. To laugh. 
7. And to love. 

The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. Those things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous.

Try To Be Alive



"Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. 
You will be dead soon enough”                                                      
Ernest Hemingway
