This is sooo ME!
Be Grateful, And..
“Be grateful. But do not JUST be grateful.
Be grateful AND brave.
Be grateful AND ambitious.
Be grateful AND righteous.
Be grateful AND persistent.
Be grateful AND loud.
Be grateful for what you have AND demand what you deserve.”
Happiness is not ready-made
“Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.”
- Dalai Lama
Studying Nature
“The scientist does not study nature because it is useful to do so. He studies it because he takes pleasure in it, and he takes pleasure in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful it would not be worth knowing, and life would not be worth living. I am not speaking, of course, of the beauty which strikes the senses, of the beauty of qualities and appearances. I am far from despising this, but it has nothing to do with science. What I mean is that more intimate beauty which comes from the harmonious order of its parts, and which a pure intelligence can grasp.”
- Jules Henri Poincaré
Human-ness
In the spirit of the Olympic finale, came across this quote from Abby Womback:
“I don’t care who scores the goal, I’m going to leave my human beingness on the field.”
