Idea Log 25082011

Back in 2006 before I left for my trip to Australia I worked for a call centre, conducting surveys, for about a month and during one of my calls a gentleman from BC ended up giving me an advice marathon. He was talking a lot and was actually quite inspirational which made me write part of the conversation down.
(I was preparing my paper work for tomorrow when I stumbled upon my handwriting. Just thought of sharing it)

"We are all mirror images of what we learn from each other. In a marathon of 22.5 miles and there are 16 miles more to go, look forward to the remaining 16 and don't forget to smile as you cross the finish line. For there are going to be scores of people waiting for you and photographers waiting to capture your final moments.

Try to get whatever you desire but make sure you don't do it at someone else's cost, otherwise this molecule of information that I have shared with you today becomes meaningless.

In victory you do not experience fatigue.

No matter what you want- you have to prepare and work for whatever it is that you want. You can be whatever you wish to be- there maybe setbacks but only temporary ones.

If there is any place you feel at home, you do whatever you can to make sure you can stay there. And who wouldn't want? Maybe you can have a house you never dreamed you could have. Be married only once. Have kids. And even if you were to die tomorrow you would die a happy man."

DEDICATED to JACK LAYTON, former NDP leader who passed away on AUG/22; the words seem every appropriate for him and the life he lived. He will be missed.
