World Wide Wednesday in Lanzarote, Seaside

“No place is ever as bad as they tell you it’s going to be.” – Chuck Thompson

Sailing, Sailing

The waves are breaking
The boat gently swaying
It is that time again
The time for sailing

Before Sunset

Before going to bed
Before turning red
Before, sunset

Living on the Edge

Welcome to the end of the world
Be careful and do not twirl
Or over the edge you get hurled

“Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose” Gertrude Stein

Roses

A rose in a pose
Her beauty it shows
With petals exposed
If you bend real close
And sniff with your nose
Of a sweet aroma, you’ll get a doze

“Like a balloon, and… something bad happens!” Fry, Futurama

Balloons 

Helium filled colourful balls of fun
Competing against the glowing sun
Everyone will soon be hypnotized
As balloons of all shapes and size
High up in the air start rising

“Like a balloon, and… something bad happens!” Fry, Futurama

Balloons 

It’s the time for the annual fare
Be careful or you might scare
Soon gaping people on the ground will stare
Kids chasing them like they just don’t care
Going as far as anyone could dare…

Quote a Week Tuesday: Thoughts by Albert Einstein

Posted in Quote a Week Tuesday

quote 1

“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.”
