You are welcome, Emmanuel. I found the delivery of his speech inspirational. Not necessarily for the words, but the passion. We all need to be reminded sometimes that our future is ours to create. Thanks for your comments
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea to keep a journal of profound sayings. I really like "Don't Invest Emotionally in the Unknown."
ReplyDeleteThanks. I especially like that one as well having spent way too much time worrying about the unknown
