You can do it!

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish

Light up your life

Why worry?

If you have done the very best you can, worrying won’t make it any better.

If you want to be successful, respect one rule – Never let failure take control of you. Everybody has gone through something that has changed them in a way that they could never go back to the person they once were.

Relationships are like electric currents, wrong connectinos will give you shocks throughout your life, but the right ones will light up your life.

Acceptance and Respect

It’s not about changing the world. It’s about doing our best to leave the world… the way it is.

It’s about respecting the will of others, and believing in your own.

The most brutal of teachers

Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.

It’s just money

A man who loses his money gains, at the least, experience, and sometimes, something better.

The risk of playing it safe

Realize that sleeping on a futon when you’re in your 30s is not the worst thing. You know what’s worse, sleeping in a king bed next to a wife you’re not really in love with but for some reason you married, and you got a couple kids, and you got a job you hate. You’ll be laying there fantasizing about sleeping on a futon. There’s no risk when you go after a dream. There’s a tremendous amount of risk to playing it safe.

I was dying

First I was dying to finish high school and start college.

And then I was dying to finish college and start working.

And then I was dying to marry and have children.

And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough for school so I could return to work.

And then I was dying to retire.

And now, I am dying… and suddenly I realize I forgot to live.

Wisdom of life

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone.

The wisdom of life consists in the elemination of non-essentials.

Figuring it out

Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’ t matter. Explore the world, nearly everything is really interesting when you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be but what you want to do. Keep up a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all.

Richard Feynman
