A few words of wisdom...

The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself. by Mark Caine

One of my favourite quotes...

"To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else’s. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we can have. Cherish it for what it truly is... Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it."
 --Terry Goodkind

Sometimes it takes someone else to say what we know in our heart, and say it with eloquence and beauty.
