Explore. Dream. Discover.

Posted August 4th, 2011 in quote by Michael

Life is short, break the rules,
forgive quickly, kiss slowly,
love truly, laugh uncontrollably,
and never regret anything that made you smile.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.

~ Mark Twain ~

Fish don’t know they’re in water

Posted August 2nd, 2011 in misc by Michael

Fish don’t know they’re in water.
If you tried to explain it, they’d say, “Water? What’s water?”
They’re so surrounded by it, that it’s impossible to see.
They can’t see it until they get outside of it.

Most times we are in water too – we just don’t see what is outside…. be it a different culture, different company or just a different opinion… so make sure to notice that you are in water!

live like it’s heaven on earth.

Merry Christmas!

Posted November 25th, 2010 in quote by Michael

Christmas is almost here…

In most families, even the holidays are more about present exchange than the selfless act of actually giving a gift. (Seth Godin)

So, what is it really about?

A hint:

Every moment is a precious gift, whether bitter, spicy, sour, or sweet. Fully express your beautiful life 8 days a week, 366 days a year! (Shi Yan Ming)
