"People who say it cannot be done, should not interrupt those who are doing it" - George Bernard Shaw
Of the many quotes that have guided my life, this one has been a mainstay. So often in life, we're presented with seemingly impossible situations, yet we persist. There will always be naysayers in life. There will always be those whose imaginations are limited or whose minds are too closed off to see what is possible. There will always be those who want you to keep the status quo. It is our responsibility to remain true to who we are and what we are called to do. Cheers to you and let nothing interfere with your greatness.
|
The legendary cellist, Pablo Casals was once asked why he still practiced at age 90. He replied, "Because I think I'm making progress."
For our world to progress, we always have to be in pursuit of our passion. Those passions push us to break through ceilings and make discoveries that elevate our society. It all starts with you committing to you every day. Stay in pursuit of your passions. Develop and retool yourself to discover what has never been before. Commit to the journey and enjoy the fruit it bears. Mastery isn't something that has a definitive end. Don't forget that only 11 people have ever seen the finish line of Pac-Man.

"My experience in the RISE program has changed the way I approach higher education. The RISE program has destigmatized tutoring and provided easy access to advisors, which greatly increased my willingness to ask for help and utilize the resources available to me."
