Making My Mark

Few of us will make any individual mark for mankind to remember. What we can do today is make our lives meaningful in the moment. Future generations will remember none or few of us as individuals; our legacy is the world we leave for our children and their children.

I’m never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don’t do anything. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don’t even do that any more.
Quotation from Dorothy Parker

As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.
Quotation from Henry David Thoreau

Waiting for Forever to Happen

Waiting for Forever to Happen

Regarding The Love of Your Life: Do you wait forever for perfection or settle for ‘good enough?’

Why thus longing, thus forever sighing
For the far-off, unattained, and dim,
While the beautiful all round thee lying
Offers up its low, perpetual hymn?
Poem from Harriet Winslow Sewall

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness.
Poem from John Keats

Why Goal-Oriented People Shouldn’t Make Lists

Making a list is part of the process towards completing a goal. But in life, it seems prudent to make your list open-ended. Also, no matter how much time you have left, don’t hurry.

1. Witness something truly majestic 2. Help a complete stranger for a common good 3. Laugh till I cry 4. Drive a Shelby Mustang 5. Kiss the most beautiful girl in the world 6. Get a tattoo 7. Skydiving 8. Visit Stonehenge 9. Spend a week at the Louvre 10. See Rome 11. Dinner at La Cherie d’Or 12. See the Pyramids 13. Get back in touch 14. Visit Taj Mahal, India 15. Hong Kong 16. Victoria Falls 17. Serengeti 18. Ride the Great Wall of China.
