    10 inspirational quotes

    People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.
    Norman Vincent Peale

    People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.
    George Bernard Shaw

    Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.

    Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
    H. Jackson Brown

    When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
    Helen Keller

    Our Deepest Fear

    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - by Marianne Williamson

    Word of the day

    sinecure \SY-nih-kyur; SIN-ih-\, noun:
    An office or position that requires or involves little or no responsibility, work, or active service.

    I was fortunate to receive the. . . offer, which in practical terms was a sinecure.
    -- David Freeman, One of Us

    Julian Poe, a wealthy old Estonian, offers what looks like a sinecure: Bennett will live in comfort in Monte Carlo and pretend to be Poe, thus enabling Poe to fulfill his residency requirement in Monte Carlo while continuing to live in Provence without paying French taxes.
    -- "Eat, Drink and Be Wary", New York Times, June 9, 1996

    When they married, Pu Yi was, officially, employed as a gardener at the Peking Botanical Gardens. In fact this sinecure. . . only lasted three years, during which time he did very little actual gardening.
    -- "Obituary: Li Shuxian", Independent, June 11, 1997
