Inspirational quotes for 25th August 2007.

Robert Stuberg: “The trouble with so many of us is that we underestimate the power of simplicity. We have a tendency it seems to over complicate our lives and forget what’s important and what’s not. We tend to mistake movement for achievement. We tend to focus on activities instead of results. And as the pace of life continues to race along in the outside world, we forget that we have the power to control our lives regardless of what’s going on outside.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be his boss.”

Pete Seeger: “Songs are funny things. They can slip across borders. Proliferate in prisons. Penetrate hard shells. I always believed that the right song at the right moment could change history.“

It certainly gave me a chance to see how effective Gmail is for sorting emails. This is my first attempt at an interview of sorts, so I hope it’s up to standard. The first question I asked was, “what events or experiences initially made you want to be more organized and productive?” Please share your own responses in the comments. Hope you enjoy this series!
