where's the reset button...Germany Kent

Hit the reset button. 
Whatever happened yesterday,
 forget about it. 
Get a new perspective. 
Today is a new day. 
Fresh start, begins now.

possibilities with Whoopi Goldberg

I can do anything. 
I can be anything. 
No one ever told me 
I couldn't. 
No one ever expressed 
this idea that 
I was limited to 
any one thing, 
and so I think 
in terms of what's possible, 
not impossible.

possibilities ... China Mieville



For every action, 
there's an infinity 
of outcomes. 
Countless trillions 
are possible, 
many milliards are likely,
 millions might be 
considered probable, 
several occur as 
possibilities to us
 as observers - 
and one comes true.

What good is 
the warmth of summer, 
without the cold

making change ... John Kenneth Galbraith

Faced with the choice
 between changing 
one's mind and 
proving that there is 
no need to do so, 
almost everyone gets 
busy on the proof.

the summer days ... F. Scott Fitzgerald

And so with the sunshine
 and the great bursts 
of leaves growing 
on the trees, 
just as things grow 
in fast movies, 
I had that familiar 
conviction that life was
 beginning over again 
with the summer.
—F. Scott Fitzgerald, 
The Great Gatsby
