Learning from others

"I've learned a lot from my dog. Fritz taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things - midnight breezes, a walk in the park, a nap on a rainy afternoon. And as he grows old and achy, he's teaching me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, Fritz is teaching me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty." ~lifted from "Marley and Me"

"Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence." ~Ray Kroc
