how optimistic are you ... Sylvester Stalone

I believe any success
in life is made
by going into an area
with a blind, 
furious optimism.

just imagine ... Gloria Steinem

Without leaps of imagination
or dreaming,
we lose the excitement
of possibilities.
Dreaming, after all,
is a form of planning.

a little rain may fall ... Gilbert K. Chesterton


And when it rains 
on your parade, 
look up rather than down. 
Without the rain, 
there would be no rainbow.

striking out with John D. Rockefeller

If you want to succeed 
you should strike out 
on new paths, 
rather than travel 
the worn paths of 
accepted success.

(4/9) Palm Sunday ... life lessons ... Lucille Ball

One of the things
 I learned the hard way
 was that it doesn't 
pay to get discouraged. 
Keeping busy 
and making optimism 
a way of life 
can restore 
your faith in yourself.
