If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be.
Now put foundations under them.
– Henry David Thoreau

Thomas Edison dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity, began where he stood to put his dream into action, and despite more than ten thousand failures, he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality. Practical dreamers do not quit!

(Think n Grow Rich)

How many times have you pursued your dreams, goals and desires? More than 10,000 times?

Then you never know if you’ll succeed in making your dreams come true – until the last attempt that succeeds!

This is the beginning of a new day.
I have been given this day to use it as I will.
I can waste it… or use it for good.
But what I do today is important,
because I am exchanging a day of my life for it!

When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever,
leaving in its place something that I’ve traded for it.
I want it to be Gain, and not loss,
Good and not evil,
Success and not failure,
in order that I won’t regret the price that I’ve paid for it.

I will try just for today…
for you never fail until you stop trying.

It is not the critic who counts,
not the man who points out
how the strong (wo)man stumbles
or where the doer of deeds
could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the (wo)man
who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred
by dust and sweat and blood,
who strives valiantly,
who errs and comes short again and again
because there is no effort
without error and shortcomings,
who knows the great devotion,
who spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at the best knows in the end
the high achievement of triumph
and who at worst,
if he fails while daring greatly,
knows his place shall never be
with those timid and cold souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.
~ Theodore Roosevelt, 26th US President

“A life worth living is a life worth recording.”
