Footprints on our Hearts

"Some people come into our lives and quietly go.
Others stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same."

Otto's

Down But Not Out

Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest NBA player of all time, credits his attitude about failure as a critical driver behind his enormous success:
“I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet

Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet:

“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.”

Make 'em laugh or they'll kill you

If you want to tell people the truth, make 'em laugh.
Otherwise, they'll kill you.

~ Oscar Wilde
