Blog 9 - My Favorite Quotes!

“Life isn’t about how many breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away.” – Unknown

This is one of my favourite quotes in that it is very inspirational. The author is saying that life is not about how long you live, but cherishing those moments that "take your breath away.” Life should be full of excitement and lively rather than focusing on the dull moments. I feel this quote is a reminder that life is about making the memoires and experiences that leaves you speechless. It’s about those moments you have to remember. I decided to share this quote as I feel it is important we concentrate about what is happening and not all about what you plan on doing. Always highlight the moments in life that are extraordinary and make you feel proud.

“All that’s glitter is not gold.” – William Shakespeare

This famous quote originated in William Shakespeare’s play, The Merchant of Venice. This quote is very motivational, as it is a statement of the fact that appearances can be deceiving.  Remarking the fact that what may seem perfect is not all it is hyped up to be. I felt this is a significant quote as it can apply to places, people and things that promise to be more than they really are. This is definitely a well known saying today, in that not everything precious is always what it seems. It is very effective in the fact that anything can be misleading and we should never make assumptions until you know the full story.

“Good things come to those who wait.” - Unknown

This quote has a powerful meaning about patience. I feel this quote is saying that good things come to those people who wait. I am convinced this is true as life is about testing our ability to see if we have the motivation to continue and not to give up. It is important to pursue your dreams, your ambitions, your passions, and work hard but, there must be patience in the progress. I wanted to share this quote, as generally people hate waiting for anything especially in society today. Many people wonder how come good things are happening everyday to people but why not me? Patience is not something that people enjoy but rather it can be very rewarding when you least expect it. These rewards of success will be worth the long wait and have a bigger impact of the feeling of accomplishment.
