An impulse to soar February 5, 2008

As the new Lunar year comes upon us, remember these words to face the present and enter the brave new world with both courage and daring….

“No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing”.
(Helen Keller)
