“Instead of wondering when your next vacation is you ought to set up a life you don’t need to escape from.” -Set Godin “If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.” -Robert H. Schuller “A healthy attitude is contagious but don’t wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier.” -Tom Stoppard 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.
