Walk On

I agree with Mike Kind.
If you keep your eyes, ears, and receptors open... there are opportunities everywhere.

And when the doors open.. all you need to do is take a deep breath and walk through them.

It's not easy,
              sometimes it can actually be a little terrifying because you just don't know what will wait on the other side... but you know what?
I'm walking through those doors.. and it's exciting.

Take-Away From Today's Class

Believe in yourself,
                         because you have a mind that works and eyes that see.
Believe in yourself,
                     and others too. Chase your dreams and help them follow their's through.
Believe in yourself,
                    I know you're afraid. It's like you're hiding from yourself.
Believe in yourself,
                    Don't let your dreams burn out and fade away.

 What's stopping you?


you are.
stop it.

 Here are 3 simplistic things that I have learnt from Richard Branson

1) Doing awful in school...does not mean you will do awful in life. 

2)If you think that you want to make a difference in other people's lives... make sure you're not just wanting to do so solely to better your own.

3) I'm not sure if I'd like to become a millionaire...

                 

                       

Risk it

You can never know what's waiting at the bottom as you fall.... see where your failures will take you..

Passion

I am passionate about many things...but
the one that pops into mind almost instantly...is drawing.

I have always loved it. There are stacks upon stacks of drawings that flood my house.

I will never stop.

Freedom To Fail

What if you fell,
                        really really hard....and never got back up again?
                   
You'd lay down there for a pretty long time. Days would pass and soon months would sail on by. The morning sky would blink -from red and pink-to black.. all the while you'd just be lying there motionless and
 limp.

What if you just stayed down in the dirt for your entire lifetime? There'd be many opportunities. A sea of what-could-be. There would be a whole world out there... just waiting for you to pick yourself up again and discover these possibilities for yourself. What if you stayed there on the ground and let your dreams turn to dust. The dreams you'd at one time had were vivid. They followed you everywhere. They lived inside of you.
     
 These dreams were long forgotten as you laid there on the ground. The thing that was consuming you had become a parasite.. and it was eating you up inside. A single word or rather.. a chain of words with a similar tone rang through your mind. Failure. I can't do it. I'm worthless. I'm nothing. It won't work. Why should I even try?

Well guess what. You are allowed to fail. Each and every one of us on this planet we call "Earth" has failed/ and will fail at some point. You have the Freedom To Fail... but you do not have the Freedom to simply stay a failure.

Next time you take a steep fall,
                                   or a small fall,
                       remember this.
                      Pick yourself up. Dust yourself off.
                  You are not a failure.... you just failed.

The Secret To Success

How did we win the war?
Simple. We kept our integrity about us... and stayed loyal to Britain.
