"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain
This is very appropriate as I think about the things I am not so excited about and new possibilities for life. It's a reminder to take risks and jump long and far and to not cut short my dreams.
Waltham, MA is not exactly a mecca for gourmands, but it does have a superb Mexican restaurant, Taqueria El Mariachi, which a Mexican friend of mine brought me to a few months ago. The cook, who he knows, gave us both calendars. I was jealous that my friend got the muscle car calendar whereas mine was a motivational calendar. However, it's been growing on me in the meantime.
February's wisdom was:
Risk
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
No kidding! The picture, of course, is a colorful hot air balloon floating over jagged rocks. I like to imagine they are bottles of tequila, though.
In April we get:
Dare
One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore.
Wow! Good, then I'll keep reading psychology books instead of AI. Who am I to question the calendar?
