Making happiness
“Happiness, in fact, is a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated, and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us can come to being happy.”
—M
Saying goodbye
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
—Winnie-the-Pooh
Disabilities

“I try to live my eulogy today. If you want people to say nice things about you at your funeral you need to be living that way now.”

Let’s go places
Let’s go beyond everything we know. Let’s embrace everything we don’t.
Let’s not just look toward the future, but define it. We’ve learned that inspiration doesn’t favor those who sit still.
So let’s be bold. Ambitious. Even unconventional.
Because that’s where big ideas come from.
Ideas that not only take you places you can find on a map, but also ones you can find in your heart.
Let’s go places, together.
—Toyota
Let it rain
“For after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain.”
―Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“Everything inspires me.”
—Norman Foster

Reckless, stupid, irresponsible, challenging, stressful, frustrating…
…liberating and empowering.
