turtle travels only when it sticks its neck out.

I'm a big fan of quotes, I posted quotes on my blogger, on my plurk, my twitter, anything. I just love to quote someone else. It's not only famous people, but sometimes even my friends occasionally said the wisest zen kind of thing without realizing it.

(while I was writing here, my friend from taiwan greeted me on msn. That's the nicest feeling in the world you know! I miss her very much..)

I once read this quotes on tumblr, "if you want something, then you have to leave something else." It means that we need to sacrifice something in order to achieve something bigger. For example, I want to learn playing guitar and to achieve that I have to spare some time on weekday since it's cheaper that way, and money as well. Well, because I'm just really new into this music thingy, I need to practice because obviously I suck so bad at it. Because I don't want to be "suck" I practice at home too, and when I practice guitar I can't study for my school right? So it means I sacrifice my school study to learn guitar. (My guitar tutor said that I need to practice an hour everyday for three months only to study apoyando technique). I did study two hours everyday... for three days.

And here is the new favorite quotes:

"I have found there are three stages to every work of God; first it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it's done" -J. Hudson Taylor

"God grant me the Senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell me the difference."

"Carpe diem! Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy the day; live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have. It is later than you think." -Horace
