My quotes of the day
“I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” - Jimmy Dean
“Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning.” Mahatma Gandhi
“If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare.” Ralph Waldo Emerson - This quote made me think how many things we miss out on for concentrating on everything else rather than to appreciate the little things that come our way and if we only looked more carefully it's this little things that would fill our days with joy and bring a smile to our face.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't 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
