Inspiration from Dr. Suess

Dr. Suess,

Ah the things that we have all learned from the great Dr. Suess. As children we read his amazing books. They were funny. They were well versed and flowed off our tongues and into our ears. The whimsical ideas and thoughts produced, stayed with us and shaped the adults that we have become. Yet, when we become adults we start to think that we can no longer benefit from childish things. I think this is wrong. I know that if we still look at things with a childlike faith and sense of wonder we can have adventures unimaginable. That being said, here is some inspiration from the Doctor who can heal this virus called being an adult..... Dr. Suess !!

A person's a person, no matter how small.-- Dr. Seuss

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.-- Dr. Seuss

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.-- Dr. Seuss

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.-- Dr. Seuss

Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.-- Dr. Seuss

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.-- Dr. Seuss

Dr. Suess was rejected 27 times before his children's books were accepted by editors. This is the kind of persistence that we should all have. If you believe in your vision and stick with it you can make it work.

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..." — Dr. Seuss

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not." Dr. Seuss

The glass

"A wise woman (my Wife),once said "stop worrying about the glass being half full or half empty and just get up and get some more kool-aid !" Now that's optimistic. Just get up and fill your glass. Sometimes we spend too much time thinking positive and not enough time doing positive things. If you are content with half a glass then ponder on it. But if you want a full glass, you have to get up and fill it !!

Wisdom from Alice in Wonderland

Here are a few quotes from Lewis Carol's, Alice in Wonderland. I know that we have all either read this book or seen the cartoon, but if you look at the deeper life application here, I think you'll find it quite brilliant.



The Duchess: Tut, tut, child! Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.



Alice: I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!



The King: Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.



Alice: But then, shall I never get any older than I am now? That'll be a comfort, one way -- never to be an old woman -- but then -- always to have lessons to learn!



Alice: It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.



Doorknob: Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction.

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”

– Helen Keller

Helen Keller, was the first deaf and blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.

She over came great challenges to become a successful author, lecturer and an inspiration even all these years later !
