Future

The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike. Rather it will belong to those who can blend vision, reason and courage in a personal commitment to the ideals and great enterprises of American society.

-Robert F. Kennedy

Our Deepest Fear

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

- A quote from Marianne Williamson’s book, “Return to Love”

Far better it is to dare mighty things …

Question from my marketing exam this evening regarding the person who said:

I’m not sure if this is something I should have known but considering that my knowledge of United States history is sub par it’s probably a subtle hint that I really need to start learning more about the country where I reside or else I may wake up one day on Jay Leno’s Jaywalking episodes and that would not be cool.
