Thoughts from Guru Dr. Seuss!
I got sidetracked as I started this month’s collection of quotes and sayings!
It seems Dr. Seuss penned quite a number of “thoughtful thoughts!”
So this week all of the selections come from the inimitable Dr. Seuss, who poses as a children’s author.
(Really he’s a philosopher in disguise!)
I’ll bet a least of couple of the following quotes will resonate with you. See if I’m right!
P.S. As I couldn’t find a quote by the good “Dr.” about how great chocolate is, I’m putting in this one as a bonus!
So which one(s) would you pick as favorites?
Got a moment?
Ever been told to “just wait a moment…” What is a moment? It’s really an extraordinary thing, more so than we usually realize. We usually use the word “moment” to mean a very short amount of time, maybe one or two seconds, and therefore rather negligible. But we’ll never find a moment on a clock […]
Restore Yourself to Your Factory Default Settings!
Ever had your connection to the internet suddenly stop working? I have, and when it does that I’m completed frustrated. Putting my “deep technological know-how” to work (haha), I mumble, stumble, and fumble with the various buttons and keys. Closing all the applications and rebooting still doesn’t work. Turning the computer on and off several […]
Two days to be worry-free
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry; two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is YESTERDAY with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. YESTERDAY has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the […]
The “Lower-Half Club”
Our culture is in love with numbers and data. We are told that having the right information is the key to getting ahead. After all, this is the Information Age, isn’t it? Conventional wisdom says success in our educational system is the key to future success-that students with the best grades are “the most likely […]
Quote Roundup
Quotes are powerful. They can stir emotion, invoke confidence, make us reminisce, put us in our place, infuriate us, make us laugh, make us cry… you get the idea. When I need some inspiration or I’m feeling a bit down, I check out my favorites and feel instantly energized and grateful. Here are some […]
Never say “Whoa!” in a mud hole
Ever been in one of those mud holes? Whether real or figuratively, the mud holes of life present us with a challenge. And, hopefully, we’re not hollering “Whoa!” What does it mean? Well, if I am in a horse-drawn wagon and have to go through a mud hole, I’d be a fool to stop and […]
Learning from a Bald Ibis?!
Poking around the internet the other day, I came across a fascinating story about the Bald Ibis. (a species I’d never heard of) Background: Once upon a time this bird had a powerful status in ancient Egypt as the god Thoth. He/it was thought to carry the soul into the afterlife. Now one of […]
We’re all “storytellers”
Like me, I’ll bet you have a “story” for just about everything! Why you can’t lose weight, why you can’t keep a budget, why you can’t learn a new language, why you can’t learn to dance… “I’m just big-boned.” “I’ve never been good with math.” “I’m too old.” “I don’t have time.” “I’ve always had […]
Thoughts to ponder…
Time to give thought to our thoughts! It is always fun for me to narrow my monthly quotes about life down to just eight! I’ve lots of favorites and don’t think I’ll ever run out of inspiring or fun thoughts to share! […]
