2 Quotes From Others

I.

French author Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette offers some life advice:

"You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm."

​

​II.

Graphic designer Saul Bass on the importance of beauty:

"I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don't give a damn whether the client understands that that's worth anything, or that the client thinks it's worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It's worth it to me. It's the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares."

1 Question For You

What are you often silently complaining about in your head and who is the person you need to actually discuss your frustrations with?

People can't react to your thoughts, only your actions. Time spent complaining to yourself is often better spent selling someone else on a new way of doing things.

have your own choice of the world/career and make it beautiful dream comes to mind, foster new methods and stop complaining about every little thing would be my to do list. Just thoughts it led me to think, yes value and create beautiful things, jumpers or relationships. Make yourself feel great and value life, what you do. We made important role in society, each one of us helps.

Choice is always yours, to learn and grow in knowledge and relationships very good in increasing the brain cells
