TIME Magazine Person of the Year 2006

I was TIME Magazine's Person of the year for 2006.

Steve Burda just reminded me today - how did I forget?

A few timeless quotes

Lose being yourself and win being yourself.


"Success is liking yourself,
liking what you do, and
liking how you do it."
~Maya Angelou


"A mind that is stretched to a new idea never returns to its original dimension."
~Oliver Wendell Holmes


"Don't brood. Get on with loving and living. You don't have forever."
~Leo Buscaglia


"In an average lifetime, a person walks about 65,000 miles. That’s two and a half times around the world. I wonder where your steps will take you. I wonder how you’ll use the rest of the miles you’re given.
~Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers)


"The best attitude is to be very grateful and thankful and constantly generous. What can I give, not what can I get. Just let the lightness of the moment be what it is." ~Bhagavan Das


"A friend reminded me that you only have to talk about what you do for five minutes at parties, but you have to live what you do every day of your life, so better to do what you love and forget about how it looks. And this, I believe"
~Yolanda O’Bannon, Living what you do every day, NPR “This I believe”


“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
~Mark Twain


"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking."
~General George S. Patton


"There ain't no rules around here. We're trying to accomplish something."
~Thomas Edison, inventor, salesman (1847-1931)


"I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them."
~Mark Twain


“People are persuaded by reason, but moved by emotion: (the leaders) must both persuade them and move them.”
~Richard M. Nixon


Life is what you make of it.

Just do it.
