Micellaneous factoid about me: In college, I started collecting quotes. They were funny, quirky, profound, absurd, inspiring- from world leaders and authors and friends and professors and strangers on the street. I wrote them down and kept them in a little planner, which I still have.
I've always enjoyed bite-sized bits of wisdom, or sarcasm, or some random truth that I find particular meaning in. I recently stumbled upon Jack Pidgeon's commencement address at Kiski High School and wanted to share. I particularly dug this nugget of wisdom:
"You don't have to have been born with talent or brains or special
abilities or a capacity for leadership. You don't even have to have
been born tough. The happiest fact of life is that the one ingredient
we need the most is ours for the taking. All you have to do to acquire
it is this: beginning today, stop doing something you shouldn't do and
start doing each day something you know you should do."
