"Culture is the heritage of us all. some may be more interested than others in the treasures of the past, but no one can fail to take a pride in his country's participation in the story of mankind, as represented in carvings, sculpture, music, paintings and the other arts. And there is a personal commitment to this, for no man can really say he is alone: we are all joined through our identity, with the cultures which are part of the mainstream of life"
- Simon Kapwepwe, Zambian Independence Freedom Fighter

"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm" - Winston Churchill

"Try to be the rainbow in someone else's cloud" - Maya Angelou

"Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinion drown out your inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition" - Steve Jobs

Inspiration

As I sink further and further into self doubt I am drawing upon the words of someone who is thought to be quite smart.  This fellow of times past said:

"The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd.  The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places noone has ever seen before."

I am counting on the fact that Einstein is considered to be quite a smart chap. If Bertie says this is so, I am going to believe it.  I am very alone at the moment, trying to forge my path in unchartered waters and trying to remain uncompromisingly steadfast to my dreams and aspirations.  So he'd better be right otherwise I am taking a huge professional risk because I am crazy, not because I have gumption, vision and moxie!
