Quote a Week Tuesday dedication to Sir Winston Churchill

I have dedicated this week’s Quote a Week Tuesday to Sir Winston Churchill. The quotations chosen may help you through some tricky situations, as they have me!

My top ten list (in no particular order):

* “There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.”
* “To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.”
* “Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.”
* “Personally I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.”
* “Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.”
* “Attitude is a little thing that makes a BIG difference.”
* “You have enemies? Good. It means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
* “In the course of my life I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.”
* “Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.”
* “The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.”

Quote a Week Tuesday (2016-05-24)

For this week’s quote, I have chosen two thoughts for those moments, when you hit that phase, where you are staring at the blank screen, ready to start pulling your hair and pondering on; WHY? WHY? WHY?

There is a voice within me
That will not be still”

Quotations /Humour

“The imagination is a wonderful thing; it allows for all manner of undiscoverable sins.”

― Sarah Strohmeyer, Sweet Love

Quote a Week Tuesday (2016-05-17)

For this week’s quote, I have chosen something a little more humorous than usual.
By the way, have you ever noticed, how easily you can actually fool yourself, when spending a little bit too much time in your own mind?

So, be careful out there and mind what you think, it may not always be true 😉

“Don’t believe everything you think” ― Thomas E. Kida

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning” Albert Einstein

Quote a Week Tuesday: Thoughts by Albert Einstein

For this week, I have chosen a few thoughts from one of my favourite brainiacs: Albert Einstein.
Valuable lessons we can surely all apply to our daily lives:

1. Follow Your Curiosity: “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”
2: Perseverance is Priceless: “It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
3: Focus on the Present: “Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”
4: Imagination is Powerful: “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
5: Make Mistakes: “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
6: Live in the Moment: “I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.”
7: Create Value: “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
8: Don’t Be Repetitive: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
9: Knowledge Comes From Experience: “Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.”
10: Learn the Rules and Then Play Better: “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”

Johnny do-it-all (Quote a Week Tuesday)

For this week’s quote of the week, I have chosen something I myself can relate to: seems splitting up with either too many interests or skills leads to not being a master of anything! So, when to shoe fits, wear it 😉

“Jack of all trades, master of none,
though oftentimes better than master of one”
