The Story of Pebbles
Many pebbles find themselves in turbulent shores.
But some are lucky to be in quiet shores.
Some find their destiny beneath the ocean.
Others find their place near the skies.
Some pebbles find themselves useful for walks among trees.
Some find their uses in grand highways
Many become part of stairs where few people pass.
Some become part of steps for beautiful people like her.
Some pebbles are destined to be part of something great.
Some become part of something that last through time.
You see… Even pebbles aspire to be great. They aspire to be part of something as high as this.
Or to be part of something as grand as this.
Or of something as wonderful as this.
Or of one as beautiful as this.
Or of one simply as free as this.
What about you?
Challenge the known. Embrace the unknown. Continue to learn. Obey the absolutes. Enjoy your family and friends before they are gone. – Guy Kawasaki, The Art of the Start

My Two Other Heroes
Remember:
Losers let things happen.
Winners make things happen.
Failing is part of the process.
