It’s never too late – or too early…

For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

- F. Scott Fitzgerald

I believe…

A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.”

- Vince Lombardi

To succeed…

“To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.”

- Tony Dorsett

I cannot imagine life without music. So, I listen when I can, as much and as often as I can. I like all types of music – often depends on my mood. Curious as to what type of music I’ve been listening to? You can follow me on Spotify.

Embarking on a New Year, 2012…

Out with the old, in with the new…2011 has come to an end, and all I can say is – without writing a short novel here: Many events occurred during the year – wonderful, good, bad, sad, unexpected and a lot of in-between… Life is life, you live and learn; you make best of what comes to you. And while I look forward and ahead, I also choose to look back to look to the future… Here’s wishing you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year and 2012!

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path. And that will make all the difference.”

- Steve Jobs, 2005 Stanford Commencement Address
