The journey

A friend sent this to me early in March this year:


God doesn't give you the people you want. He gives you the people you need
- to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into
the person you were meant to be.

Distinctions

My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement - success will follow.
- Helen Hayes

These words from last week's email have stayed with me. Some tenets go straight to the bin, but those which inspire, are carefully filed to be read and re-read.

One warm afternoon..the words, the words, the words

The elation of words
The inspiration
And The beauty
Oh the words - the words - the words






Words by Jose Rizal etched in a section of Fort Santiago where the hero of the Philippines nation was put to death.

Life, one day.

One day you will ask me which is more important? my life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.
-- Khalil Gibran


Something I read last week, and have read and re-read, simply because these words are just so beautiful, strung together the way they are.
