Quotes Wall

Calm down!  Not THAT quotes wall!  ;)

During our second year at Lakehead my roommates and I had a “Quotes Wall.”  Trust me when I say . . . we wouldn’t want it circulating now!  There were some really great comments on that wall but not necessarily what you’d call “appropriate” stuff!  I’d have to say some of the most expletive laden quotes were written down during card games of Dutch Blitz, purchased at the christian bookstore in Elliot Lake (or Sudbury?).  Needless to say if any of us ever tried to run for public office . . . there would be some serious shredding of paper!  I can’t even imagine what would have happened if we’d pulled that off during this age of social media . . . Mind you . . . we’d probably have a TV show by now ;)

This spot is just a page for random thoughts, quotes, ideas etc. to be posted, that I think are interesting or that I think I should read over and over and over to get the idea firmly planted in my brain!  Cause apparently a blog, twitter and Facebook . . . just aren’t enough . . .

So apparently young Mister Kielburger seems to tweet the best quotes . . . I still remember when this guy was 12 and taking on the entire world . . . apparently he’s doing pretty darn well ;)   Anybody catch the Me 2 We day celebrations this year.  He and his brother are like rock stars . . . as it should be with a couple of kids that are actually saving the kids on this planet . . . YES one person can make a real difference . . . even one twelve year old (alas he’s now 27-28 or so . . . and I now feel old!):

Ok this one’s freaky as hell . . . came across this website while reading another website (shut-up) and anyhoo . . . I’m one of those folks that doesn’t believe . . . but holy hell!  Phil Booth manages to come freakishly close . . . hey! Any of you remember the show Freaky Links?  Total tangent but man that’s one I wish had the chance to find an audience!  And once again anyhoo . . .

Nothing lasts forever. Remind yourself of that in light of recent developments in an unbearable situation. Mercury indicates that an illuminating and long-lasting positive change is working its magic underfoot. You have the resources, endurance and follow-through to conquer any challenge. And this time is no exception.

and due to being born on the “cusp” . . .

Gemini- Saturday, December 11, 2010

They tell us not to count our chicks before they’ve hatched, but then neither should we doubt their coming into existence. Your imagination is beginning to envisage a future that differs radically from anything you’ve considered before. What you’re doing now is, despite your fears, the start of an amazing chapter in the fascinating story of your life.

Most definitely one of my favourites and is basically what I try to remember every time I teach a group:

“In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.” – Baba Dioum

So here it is . . . The very first inspirational teaching ;) :

Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell
Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell
Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell

If you don’t like what you got
why don’t you change it?
If you’re world is all screwed up
rearrange it!

Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell
Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell

If you don’t like what you see
why don’t you fight it?
If you know there’s something wrong
why don’t you right it?

Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell
Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell

In the end it comes down to your thinking
and there’s really nobody to blame
When it feels like your ship is sinking
and you’re too tired to play the game

Nobody’s going to help you
you’ve just got to stand up alone
And dig in your heels and see how it feels
to raise a little hell of your own

Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell
Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell

If you don’t like what you got
why don’t you change it?
If you’re world is all screwed up
rearrange it!

Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell
Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell
Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell
