I will often cut things out or write them down of things that I think will motivate me.
Unfortunately, I can't remember any of them now, so they must not be all that important
to me.

I can still remember clearly from when I was a kid of that student protester
in Tiananmen square standing before the line of tanks. I see that as a motivating factor
in my life especially when I see something I feel is wrong. I know a lot of you didn't live
through that, but is there something you recall that serves a similar purpose?

The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems,
but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.

May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all, may silence make you strong.

~ Chief Dan George ~

cause cookin's like religion is,
some's called and some's ain't
and recipies no more make a cook
than sermons make a saint.
