Make sure you marry someone who laughs at the same things you do.
- Salinger

Why do we associate ‘opportunity’ with ‘money’ or ‘career advancement’? Why don’t we ever hear someone say, “A few years back, I’ve had the opportunity to lose my job and discover self-employment, which led me to earn much less, but travel and live more.” That right there is my story. Everything is an opportunity for something. Cheers!

You have never really lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you....

You can only grow if you’re willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.

— Brian Tracy

To translate anger into eloquence. 
To translate anger into passion. 
To translate anger into softness. 
To use anger to build instead of to destroy.

Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral.

Kahlil Gibran ‘On Houses’

People sell their souls by running away from the battles they know they should be fighting. You cannot pursue comfort and greatness at the same time.

Todd Henry, ‘Die Empty’
