The application of the motto that you have chosen for yourself may very well be rooted in universal human wisdom. As they say time and tide waits for no one, and if we do not extend our hand to grasp what opportunity this turntable service of life as brought right in front of us then the next moment they might be gone forever. If we do not take initiative and act proactively then we are most likely to follow random purposes all around us. In my view life is all about action and the weakest form of action is in thinking. But this weakest part becomes the strongest when we are able to establish a direct correlation between what we think and what we eventually do. This is an ability that sooner or later we all have to develop. The same purpose we have in mind when we chooses mottos in our life – to strengthen our thoughts by setting permanent standards in this other wise tricky areas of lour mind.

My motto in life, the one relating to yours, is ‘readiness is all’. For there is more reason in preparation than there is in elaborate planning. Planning is indispensable in normal life but it is useful when it is done as a part of preparation of our mind. There is nothing such as perfect planning, but readiness in mind enables us see what we look for. We just have to stay alert and ready in life to deal with its rapid flow, and to pick out just a few moments of opportunity out of many.

Fall but do not stumble
be constant, but not to persistant
share, never be unfair
understand , try not to demand
hurt, but never hold onto that pain

love is like a knife
it can stab and peirce the heart
or it can carve wonderful images into the soul

Mine is to live every day like its your last and not to fret as things always have a way of working out. Not very original but its a nice little thought to keep me happy with what I have got rather than what i havent.

Oderint Dum Metuant

Let them hate me, so long as they fear me.

Or if that's too doom & gloom for you;

Parvis Imbutus Tentabis Grandia Tutus

Once you accomplish small things, you may attempt great ones safely.

My motto:

To every man an answer,
though no man's answer can be the same
as anothers.......

Yet, without one man's question,
in all of life,
then, history remains.....
Undone......


((I'm a dream interpreter))
