KEEP GOING

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.”

Write, Think, Read

“I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.”
― Flannery O’Connor

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”

The imagination is

“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

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.”

“Not all those who wander are lost” J. R. R. Tolkien

Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-04-05

For this week’s quotes, I have chosen something, that all of us, who tend to use the excuse of doing things “mañana” i.e. “tomorrow”, can take to heart:

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain
