"I’ve been through so many styles and trends that have been like that. That’s your first reaction when you see something new that you aren’t part of. It’s a generational shift. I’m 60, I’ve been through this a lot. You never can do what the kids do. What you do is look at yourself and find your own way to address the fact that the times have changed and that you have to pay attention. You can’t be a designer and say, “Oh, this is timeless.” Nothing is timeless! Times change. The minute you say, “This is some fashion phase, I’m going to ignore this, because my work is timeless,” pay attention—you’re fooling yourself!"

Warren Buffett
"I know it'll get better. We've been through all kinds of economic problems in this country for a couple hundred years. Our genius in the United States is not in avoiding problems, it's in overcoming problems. We've overcome every problem we've ever faced... Three of four years from now everything will be fine."

Fire
Watched the MICHEAL JORDAN speech the other day as he was inducted into the HALL OF FAME. The guy sure has put on a few pounds but he was classic MJ. He speech was witty, entertaining and well received. But was struck me was how he continued to speak about his drive and how every time someone criticized him, beat him, or told him he couldn't do something it drove him to work harder so he could prove them wrong. That's an important lesson. Instead of getting down on ourselves we should look for ways to make ourselves better, turn something good into something bad. To watch the video click HERE.

Satisfaction
After being alive for over a quarter of a century I always wonder if its true what people say: happiness is a choice? Having a gratitude attitude makes some positive people and allows them to put out good energy that attracts great experiences into their life. I at times wonder if I do that. Over the past few days I've been reflecting and wondering not if I'm happy but satisfied. Satisfied with what I'm putting out in the universe and the answer is no. I'm happy with what I have but unsatisfied with myself. I guess I'm happy with the universe but just need to work on me.

Bruce Lee
“I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.”
