Everyone's unique

If it really comes from the heart it's art and you should never compare yourself to anyone. If you're not true to yourself you won't do anything well. (Vivienne Westwood)

A tribute to B. Franklin

A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till morrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A
stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats the hell out of never trying. (Grey’s Anatomy)

The bricks in life

Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. (Steve Jobs)

Don't just make it, make it great

In your life you only get to do so many things and right now we’ve chosen to do this, so let’s make it great. (Steve Jobs)

Risk it!

You’ve got to be willing to crash and burn. If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far. Most people never pick up the phone and call. Most people never ask, and that’s what separates the people who do things from the people who just dream about them. (Steve Jobs)

Don’t just live a life, build one

When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life and try not to bash into the walls too much…that’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact — everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you… shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you’re just going to live in it versus make your mark upon it. Once you learn that, you will never be the same again. (Steve Jobs)

Connecting the dots

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. (Steve Jobs)

You’ve got to find what you love

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle. (Steve Jobs)

The crazy ones

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… The ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. (Steve Jobs)
