Sometimes

It's really hard to know what people want around here sometimes.

It sometimes feels like I'm not doing anything.

Sometimes I feel limited by people's perceptions of what I can and cannot do, or what I do or don't look like.

So, I think it’s unfair sometimes to just put a label on somebody without really getting to see what they do.

A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?

Sometimes I ask myself, Am I worth all this.

Sometimes I feel like I belong in another profession.

Growing up in public is especially hard sometimes.

You lose your privacy, and sometimes, people don't see you as human.

Sometimes you just want your life to be your life, not everybody else's to speculate on.

Sometimes, you have to go through a phase whether you like it or not.

You can sometimes learn more working with less talented people, because you learn to survive.

He who can take advice is sometimes superior to him who can give it.

It's no big thing, but you make big things out of little things sometimes.

Sometimes you want to make your own experiences.

Life has all sorts of hills and valleys, and sometimes you don't end up doing what you had your heart set out on, but sometimes that's even better!

And sometimes to help them we have got to help ourselves.

Sometimes it is a great joy just to listen to someone we love talking.

Sometimes, in a part, everything comes together.

It's sometimes easier to defend a one goal lead than a two goal lead.

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.

Challenge yourself asking:

Where do I as an individual fit into the global competition and opportunities of the day, and how can I, on my own, collaborate with others globally?

~The World is Flat~

by Thomas L.Friedman

By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

Team

Team is not a bunch of kids to win. Team is something you belong to, something you feel, something you have to earn.

from Gordon Bombay's line, The Mighty Ducks, 1992.

Quotes

I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is scalated or deescalated,and a person is humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.
Goethe

I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
Robert A. Heinlein

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
Frank Outlaw

It's never too late to be what you might have been.
George Elliot

I don't know if you'll succeed or fail, but I know this: you will fail if you don't try!

If you can’t, you must. If you must, you can.

If you wish to achieve worthwhile things in your personal and career life, you must become a worthwhile person in your own self-development.

Never complain, never explain. Resist the temptation to defend yourself or make excuses.

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs - even though checkered by failure - than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt

Minds are like parachutes, they only function when they are open.
James Dewar

Science and Religion

Breaking the Spell by Daniel C.Dennett

In a 1997 episode of the animated television series The Simpsons, Lisa Simpson discovers a fossil angel. Suspecting a hoax, she takes a piece of the fossil to the natural history museum, where Harvard paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould (playing himself) analyzes it. The age-old conflict between science and religion then plays out in this ne plus ultra of pop culture. When Gould announces that the test results are "inconclusive," Reverend Lovejoy boasts: "Well, it appears science has failed again, in front of overwhelming religious evidence." Marge counsels Lisa's skepticism with motherly wisdom: "There has to be more to life than just what we see, Lisa. Everyone needs something to believe in." Lisa's rejoinder is classic skepticism: "It's not that I don't have a spiritual side. I just find it hard to believe there's a dead angel hanging in our garage." The Scopes-like trial that ensues ends when the judge issues a restraining order: "Religion must stay 500 yards from science at all times."

Something about love

There's no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, ...

If I speak in many languages, but not have love, I am only resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, yet I have no love, I am nothing. If I give everything what I possess to the poor, but have no love, I gain nothing.

Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes and always preserves.

Is it true that Love is ACTUAL and its All Around You? If it's true then why do you look for love? It's all around you, just look carefully.
If it's not then love is an illusion.
