There is no use trying, said Alice; one can’t believe impossible things. I dare say you haven’t had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Lewis Carroll

You begin to see life in a new way. All events, occurrences, and situations turn into opportunities to do what you came [...]
“I CAN”
Posted in quotes on September 10, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Can’t is a word that is foe to ambition;
An enemy ambush to shatter your will.
It’s prey forever to a man with a mission;
And bows only to courage, and patience, and skill.
So hate it with hatred that’s deep and undying,
For once it is welcomed twill break any man.
And whatever the goal you are seeking, Keep trying!
And [...]

Like the ever-flowing waters of the river,
life has its moments of drought and its moments of flood. (Yeah)
Like the ever-changing cycle of the seasons,

and the piercing chill [...]

Tragedies happen; people get hurt
or die; and you suffer and get [...]
