“We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.”Marie Curie
There are times when things don’t go exactly as planned: circumstances change and priorities shift, but we must have a fire in the belly to go on. That’s easier said than done. Most people try to overcome obstacles, both natural and man-made, looking for a quote or example that will motivate us to continue on. I read books and articles all the time about this, and yet it rarely gets any easier: then the other day while walking in the woods I saw a tree that had died and fallen – one of many in the forest. But on closer observation there was a sapling growing up out of that stump: fiercely determined, proud of its progress, and determinedly overcoming significant odds. In that forest was a metaphor for life: don’t give up, believe in yourself, organize your strengths, work on your weaknesses, ignore the odds and be proud of what you can achieve. That’s what it takes to attain your goals today.
Marie Curie (1867 – 1934): Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity and the first woman to win a Nobel Prize
