Most experiences in life are mutually exclusive. You got to take the most of the ones you have and understand the ones you don't. Especial attention must be paid to the unpleasant ones, since they are typically not our choice of experiences and they yield a significant opportunity for growth. Carpe Diem,

Maximus : What we do in life echoes in eternity. (From: Memorable quotes for Gladiator (2000) at http://imdb.com/title/tt0172495/quotes )

[Watching the fireworks above the party before they depart] William Parrish : It's hard to let go, isn't it? Joe Black : Yes it is, Bill. Yes it is. William Parrish : Well, that's life... what can I tell you. (Adapted from: Memorable quotes for Meet Joe Black (1998) at http://imdb.com/title/tt0119643/quotes )

Joe Black : ... I'm talking about taking care of each other the best you can. What's wrong with taking care of a woman? She takes care of you. Susan : You'll have a hard time finding a woman like that these days. Joe Black : Shoot, you think so? Susan : Mm-hmm. Joe Black : I don't know. Lightning could strike.

Sir, make me instrument of your peace. Where it shall have hatred, that I bring love; Where it shall have offense, that I bring pardon; Where it shall have discord, that I bring union; Where it shall have doubt, that I bring faith; Where it shall have error, that I bring truth; Where it shall have desperation, bring I take hope; Where it shall have sadness, that I bring joy; Where it shall have darknesses, that I bring light. Master, make that I seek more: To console than to be consoled; To understand than to be understood; To love than to be loved. Thus it is in giving that it's received; It is in pardoning that one is pardoned; And it is in dying that one lives for the Eternal Life.

I will always try and add links in the URL form, like: http://www.heronsilva.com/ Whereas, for readability, when referring to an entry in my own blog, I may add a link as a text. For instance, On Links (*) is a link to this post. The main reason for that pattern is that you can copy & paste the whole blog as text only and you'll still get it all. Carpe Diem,

Miranda Priestly : I never thought I would say this, Andrea... but I really see a great deal of myself in you. You can see beyond what people want and what they need... and you can choose for yourself . Andy Sachs : I don't think I'm like that.
