So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

Goodbye Grandma
Goodbye Grandma, sleep well tonight
Dream of all your younger days
Way before time had left you sad
And store yourself away
Dream of all your younger days
Way before time had left you sad
And store yourself away
‘Cause I remember you
Just as you always used to be
Before time had taken toll
And stole you away from me
Just as you always used to be
Before time had taken toll
And stole you away from me
And I wish I could stop time tonight
And hold the whole world still
And keep you here forever
To be mine
And hold the whole world still
And keep you here forever
To be mine
And I wish the world was different
And I could hold you in my arms
And I keep you here forever
For all time
And I could hold you in my arms
And I keep you here forever
For all time
‘Cause Grandma, I can sail the seven seas
I could take a rocket to the moon
But everywhere I go
You would be there too
And I’d be right there with you
I could take a rocket to the moon
But everywhere I go
You would be there too
And I’d be right there with you
Sleep well tonight
Sleep well tonight
Sleep well tonight
By Elton John
