Stories of conquering obstacles and the triumph of the human spirit
"The greatest mountain we need to climb lies in our our own minds". It's not the highest mountain that we conquer, but ourselves, our own mentality. Overcoming perceived limits to reach (attain) the pinnacle of our own minds."
- craig (as inspired by the words of Sir Edmund Hillary, conquerer of Mount Everest (1919-2008)
*
To start off, here are some of my favourite thoughts. Enjoy...
“Some writers write to help people see the world differently”
Education removes Ignorance
Leads to moderation = reduced hate
Shine a light of understanding on the world
“I don't believe in setting goals, but in going after your life dreams.”
“Where dreams are possible - Your only limits are your own imagination.”
“Things appear impossible until they get done.”
- Nelson Mandela
“Love conquers all.”
“I believe in the resilience of humanity...the triumph of the human spirit.”
“It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
- Robert Francis Kennedy quotes ( U.S. attorney general and adviser, 1925-1968)
"The important thing in life is not to triumph but to compete…it’s not victory but combat…not to have vanquished but to have fought well…not winning but taking part.”
― Pierre de Coubertin (French Educator, primarily responsible for the revival of the Olympic Games in 1894. 1863-1937)
“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They already somehow know what you truly want to become.”
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”
- Walt Disney
"Let us tear down the walls of our hearts in order to tear down the walls of concrete"
- Fouad Twal (top Roman Catholic official in the Holy land and Palestinian citizen of Jordan)
And finally (“abf”)
"Since I can never see your face,
And never shake you by the hand,
send my soul through time and space
To greet you. You will understand."
- James Elroy Flecker, British poet

Now I'd better start writing something (and putting some material together) for this e-book
Get cracking/weaving” as my dear mom used to say
