I am the kind of person who really loves quotes. They are the simple motivation that I need sometimes. There is always a quote that applies to my life and that will help me to become better. Our presenter yesterday was the same kind of person. He handed out a card to everyone towards the end of the presentation and we had to switch it with someone else whom we weren't too familiar with at least twice. All of the cards were different, and none were the alike. This card was supposed to be "meant for us" at this time in our life. It was really interesting and I really enjoyed it.
My card read: "The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is giving your gift away." -David Viscott
I really enjoyed this quote. I felt like it really did apply to my life, and when we went around the table and everyone shared their cards they all felt like it applied to their lives as well.
Some other quotes that I loved from our conference were:
"The world is our friend or foe, depending upon how we view it." -Paul Wesselmann
"What lies before us is daunting, what lies within us is astounding." -Paul Wesselmann
"We advance toward our destiny when we encourage others to reach theirs." -Paul Wesselman
"When we risk going too far, we discover how incredibly far we can go." -Paul Wesselman
I really enjoy the chance that I have to go to these kind of leadership conferences. I am so grateful for my scholarship and the chance it has given me to learn many new leadership skills and help me to grow as a person.
School has started again, and I am in a photography class this semester. I am loving it so far, and I can't wait to start taking pictures next week. Perhaps I will post some of my pictures. Feedback would be great if any of you would like to comment, it would be really nice to improve on my not so great picture taking skills.
Have a great and safe weekend everyone!
