“You can turn off the Sun but I’m still gonna shine!” -unknown.
1992 Derek Redmond and the Olympic Spirit
Here’s a very inspiring video. I’ll never forget my cross country coach sharing this video clip with me when I was in High School. I was deeply moved and emotional. It still hits me mentally and emotionally every time I watch it. Never gets old…
You Can Spend Minutes…
“You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would’ve happened or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on.” -Tupac
Steve Jobs on Dying
“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.”
– Steve Jobs in 2005 after being diagnosed with cancer

Small Minds
“Small minds can’t comprehend big spirits. To be great, you have to be willing to be mocked, hated, and misunderstood. Stay strong.”
Money
“There are people so poor, that the only thing they have is money.” -unknown.
