Return to School

The first week is now finished.  For some, the time went by extremely quickly.  For others, it stalled with each second.

I wish each of you the best year possible.  Take each day and each challenge as it comes.  When I struggle with things, I remember a favorite quote of mine, "Carpe Diem."  I first heard this quote used in a movie called DEAD POET'S SOCIETY, a fantastic story!  I have since found out that this quote comes from a Latin poet named Horace (65 BC-8 BC).  Over the years, this quote has become commonly translated as "Seize the Day."  That may be difficult to do sometimes, but remember that even when a class is difficult, a schedule is chaotic, or a game is not victorious, lessons can be learned and experience that will make the next issue more successful will be gained.

What is your favorite quote, one you like in good and harder times?  Where from does it come (author, song title/writer...)?

  2. One that sticks with me that also helps me is "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light onto my path" Psalms 119:105 meaning that God's Word will help light up our path and lead the way and it is also a song too

  19. “Satanism is more a philosophy than a religion. It is a prime misconception that people think that Satanists are evil sadistic weirdos. Satanists do not believe in the supernatural, they don’t believe in God or the Devil. A Satanist is his or her own God. Satan is a symbol of Man living as his prideful, carnal nature dictates. The reality behind Satan is simply the dark evolutionary force of entropy that permeates all of nature and provides the drive for survival and propagation inherent in all living things. Satan is not a conscious entity to be worshiped, rather a reservoir of power inside each human to be tapped at will. So Satan is nothing more than a word used to describe the belief of yourself, which is what I think is what we should all believe in." - Oli Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon

  31. “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. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About 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 people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
    Steve Jobs

  45. The changing seasons of the Midwest – the intense heat in summer, bitter cold in winter, and misserable beauty and invigorating weather of fall and spring – is what makes it an interesting place to live. Only robust and virile people can live in such a climate and enjoy it.

  50. It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. -Theodore Roosevelt
