every day!

"Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity."

Human Nature

Partisanship is our great curse. We too readily assume that everything has two sides and that it is our duty to be on one or the other.
James Harvey Robinson (1863 - 1936)
U.S. historian and educator.

Determination

Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that. That's nonsense. Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything……never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.

Douglas Bader (1910 - 1982)
British aviator and social reformer.
