Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
No wonder that we have made whole generations fish-intolerant. They can't stand the way it is presented to them. No one ever taught them how to cook it so they have to eat it raw. They must find their education useful and appetizing if they are to want to learn something. [hopefully not to this extent]
I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life...to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. ~ Henry David Thoreau
To The Virgins, To Make Much Of Time:
Gather the rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
To-morrow will be dying.
CARPE DIEM:
Look at these Lads, They're not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in.Listen, you hear it? - - Carpe - - hear it? - - Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary ~ Dead Poets Society [See Video Clip]
