Everyone is dealt different cards in life. Sometimes you get lucky, and other times you don’t. Each individual person has their own mix of things that makes life easier or more difficult. This can range from looks, intelligence, wealth to social status. Now, privilege on it’s own isn’t a guarantee…
When one door closes, another opens. But often we look so long at the closed door… That we do not see the one which has been opened for us. -Hellen Keller- Life is never just a smooth ride from start to finish. Sometimes our plans just don't pan out the way we thought they would; we encounter unfor…
You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the cert…
I used to think I was the strangest person in the world… But then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope, tha…
Unfortunately several months ago, my graphics card (a very important part of a computer) broke, and I sent it for repairs while searching for a replacement. What I wasn't prepared to see was the absolute insanity of the prices of graphics cards nowadays. The value of these cards seem to triple or e…
Who includes diversity and is Nature, Who is the amplitude of the earth, and the coarseness and sexuality of the earth, and the great charity of the earth and the equilibrium also, Who has not look’d forth from the windows the eyes for nothing, or whose brain held audience with messengers for nothi…
We all grow up with dreams of what we can be. In the playground showing off our talents for all to see. Anything’s possible when you’re laughing in school. For instance, a ballet-dancing prodigy sounds pretty cool. How about a rockstar singing in a band? Or maybe a tennis pro with a killer backhand…
Your time is limited. So don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition…
When people give these kinds of speeches, they usually tell you all kinds of wise and heartfelt things. They have wisdom to impart. They have lessons to share. They tell you; follow your dreams, change the world, make your mark… Dream, and don’t stop dreaming until all of your dreams come true. I t…
All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms. Then, the whining school-boy with his satchel, and shining morni…
I’ve heard many good things about the film Whiplash, but I’ve only recently gotten the chance to see it. And it’s safe to say that it’s one of the greats, definitely will be considered a classic must-watch in cinema history in the years to come. Whiplash takes you on this intense emotional journey…
Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer’s loneliness but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does not work alone… And if he is a good enough writer, he must f…
