It is hard ...

It is hard to resist the urge to cut corners when we are short of time, nevertheless, I believe that any job worth doing is worth doing well.

Something definite to do

Life means to have something definite to do

—a mission to fulfill

—and in the measure in which we avoid setting our life to something, we make it empty.

Human life, by its very nature, has to be dedicated to something.


-- Jose Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955)

Creativity

Sometimes you've got to let everything go

- purge yourself.

If you are unhappy with anything

- whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it.

Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.


-- Tina Turner

Action

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.

Financial Planning

There are plenty of ways to get ahead.
