“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?
“I write only because
There is a voice within me
That will not be still”
― Sylvia Plath, Letters Home

“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.”

“Work, really? Again? Didn’t I just do that yesterday?
Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-03-01
Work, what can I say? Can’t live with it, can’t live with it 😉
Getting into a right frame of mind at work, especially when the cups are overflowing every which way and the better part of the day spent either firefighting or tilting against windmills. The one thing you need to remember, well several things actually, but if you are working in a “desk job” as a payed employee, it’s just work and five o’clock will arrive at some point of the day!
Therefore, while getting into that good place in my mind before ending up in a straight jacket, I decided to look into the humorous side of the working life 😛 After all, if a laugh a day keeps the good doctor away, maybe a few more will save the rest of the week!
Here are a few gems I found in order of appearance:
“I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours” Jerome K. Jerome
“Personally, I have nothing against work, particularly when performed, quietly and unobtrusively, by someone else” Barbara Ehrenreich
“When a man tells you he got rich through hard work, ask him whose?” Don Marquis

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-02-23
For today’s quote of the week, I have chosen something a bit more serious… What? Moi? Serious? Yes, yes, I know it is odd, but I do have a serious side too 😉
But seriously, life is short, live it to the fullest! Enjoy the moments and the littlest things!
Here is a quote by one of my most favourite people in the world (and heaven), Leonard Nimoy:
“A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP” Leonard Nimoy

‘To be or not to be, that is the question’ Hamlet
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-02-09
“To be, or not to be…” is the opening phrase of a soliloquy in the “Nunnery Scene” of William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. In the speech, a despondent Prince Hamlet contemplates death and suicide.
On the lighter side of this quote, I have adapted it to the world of blogging.
Sometimes we, bloggers, hit a wall, yes that does actually happen more often than anyone realizes! During this period, while banging our heads against the wall, we are asking ourselves “Why are you blogging? Why are you blogging? Why are you blogging?”
Maybe it is the knock of the wall that makes us come to our senses, and at this time a proverbial lamp lights upon our collective heads. And it’s when we realize, the question is actually wrong!?
So why not consider this question instead:
“To blog or not to blog? That’s a trick question, isn’t it?”
And this response to the question is:
“We blog, therefore we are!”
