Sounds like fun. I have to do my own list, to avoid wasting time and enjoying every second. Good luck ;D

Words of Wisdom

"Don't worry about genius and don't worry about being clever. Trust rather to hard work, perseverance and determination. The best motto for a long march is "don't grumble. Plug on." You hold your future in your own hands. Never waver in this belief. Don't swagger. The boy who swaggers - like the man who swaggers - has little else that he can do. He is a cheap-Jack crying his own paltry wares. It is the empty tin that rattles most. Be honest. Be loyal. Be kind. Remember that the hardest thing to acquire is the faculty of being unselfish. As a quality it is one of the finest attributes of manliness. Love the sea, the ringing beach and the open downs. Keep clean, body and mind"

Sir Frederick Treves

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength or knowledge, but rather a lack of will" Unknown

"Sexiness doesn't impress me. Smart impresses me, strength of character impresses me. but most of all, I am impressed by kindness. Kindness, I think, comes from learning hard lessons well, from falling and picking yourself up. It comes from surviving failure and loss. It implies an understanding of the human condition, forgives its many flaws an quirks. when I see that in someone, it fills me with admiration"

Lisa Unger

"There is no greater reward than that given in response to hard work"
