Solent Dreams - Alex's Tumblelog
Hi, I'm Alex and this is my place here for me to chuck my streams of consciousness... generally an real ecelctic mix of stuff I like. Kind of a scrapbook thing, you know? You'll probably find this Tumblelog of mine a little grittier than my usual blogs.. so don't say I didn't warn you ;-) Anyway, while you're here you may as well check out the stuff I've posted here as I hope you find them of interest and/or fun or whatever. Now go on, be off with you... and check out this here my Tumblelog. When you decide to leave, don't forget to check out my other blog at www.solentdreams.co.uk

“ Maybe you don’t like your job, maybe you didn’t get enough sleep, well nobody likes their job, nobody got enough sleep. Maybe you just had the worst day of your life, but you know, there’s no escape, there’s no excuse, so just suck up and be nice.

“ Don’t listen to those who say, “It’s not done that way.” Maybe it’s not, but maybe you will. Don’t listen to those who say, “You’re taking too big a chance.” Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor, and it would surely be rubbed out by today. Most importantly, don’t listen when the little voice of fear inside of you rears its ugly head and says, “They’re all smarter than you out there. They’re more talented, they’re taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have connections…” I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you, not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others, but with the strength of conviction that you can move others by your own efforts, and do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live, the chances are you’ll be a person worthy of your own respect.
Neil Simon

“ Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.
