Some great advice on deliberately choosing your path in life and pursuing it.


Bruce Lee describes defeat in a constructive way.


Not sure to whom this quote is attributed, if you know please comment. I imagine it is the man in the picture, but I don't know who he is.


"The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you."

Neil deGrasse Tyson
Whoever said this is smart.
