 You gain strength, courage and confidence by
every experience in which you really stop to
look fear in the face. You are able to say to
yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I
can take the next thing that comes along.’ You
must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
Think of this - Mark Twain
 “Twenty years from now you
will be more disappointed by
the things you didn’t do than
by the
 ones you did. So throw off the
bowlines. Sail away from the
safe harbor. Catch the trade
winds
 in your sails. Explore. Dream.”
The way we look on things
-Lao-tzu, philosopher (6th century BCE)
 Once upon a time a man whose ax was
missing suspected his neighbor's son. The
boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief,

his ax while digging in the valley, and the
next time he saw his neighbor's son, the boy
walked, looked and spoke like any other
child.

the world's first antibiotic, or bacteria killer,"
Fleming would write later, "But I guess
that's exactly what I did."
Alexander Fleming
 Fleming's accidental discovery and
isolation of penicillin in September

enough time. You have
