Lucky seven: Weekly letter with five quotes and two doses of reflection.

Today, let's explore some quotes shared by Nido Qubein.

  1. A decision is made with the brain. A commitment is made with the heart. Therefore, a commitment is much deeper and more binding than a decision.
  2. Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go they merely determine where you start.
  3. When a goal matters enough to a person, that person will find a way to accomplish what at first seemed impossible.
  4. The price of discipline is always less than the pain of regret.
  5. Change brings opportunity.

And two thoughts from my searches. Both positive, one funny, and one serious:

  1. How would we ever know if a word is misspelled in the dictionary?
  2. What makes life worth living? No child asks itself that question. To children, life is self-evident. Life goes without saying: good or bad makes no difference. This is because children don’t see, observe, or contemplate the world but are so deeply immersed in it that they don’t distinguish between it and their own selves. - Karl Ove Knausgard

Have a great week ahead, and see you on the next occasion!
