It's no use saying, "We are doing our best." You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.

Be curious

Carry yourself to wonderful places you never would have otherwise known you could go. Express a genuine appreciation for life and everything in it, by being curious.

Keep yourself well informed about the universe around you while bringing new richness and unique experience into your life. Explore your curiosity.

To unleash your curiosity, let go of any intellectual arrogance you might harbor. For in order to be truly curious, you must first admit what you do not know.

After all, intelligence is more than a measure of what you already know. Intelligence involves being always open to learning new things, some of which will contradict what you already thought you knew.

Though curiosity will often compel you to undertake great effort, curiosity itself requires no effort. Simply drop your pretenses, allow yourself to be curious, and you are.

There is no end to the wonder that you can discover, wherever you are, whatever you do. Be curious, and be fully alive.

— Ralph Marston
