Thought for the day....
« on: September 07, 2010, 12:37:08 am »
After reading Mojo's Humanity thread, I thought I would throw this out.  Any thought's, fav quotes, etc., to jumpstart the day or raise someone's spirits?

I don't have an uplifting chunk of text, but I have to add that Walt Disney truly did have his creative process down to a fine art. We were taught about just one of his at school (in the context of commercial art and design), but it applies in lots of places. Here's a doc about it:

Rock and roll lyrics provide many such thoughts. One of my personal favorites is Steve Miller band's "Your Saving Grace", in which he says "Tomorrow" is your saving grace.

In other words, if you can make it through today, tomorrow will be better. (especially helpful when you have a hangover, because you know a good nights sleep will do wonders)  :smiley:

People that swear they could never do violence just haven't gotten to know me.

Some people try to leave the world a better place. Other people make the world a better place simply by leaving it.
