DEDICATED
THOUGHTS

version FRANÇAISE

Creativity requires emotion.

Wanting things gives life to the environment.

The simple fact of deciding which road you want to travel will give you the energy and vision to reach heights you had not dreamt of. As long as you believe.

Living the easy life is not easy: it is easy to understand how difficult it can be to make what is difficult easy. Believe it.

• The illusion of ownership becomes more expensive when you have to pay back the loan.

• We have things, friends and life on loan only. We know it, but we sometimes forget.

• Our objectives have everything to do with the decision to be who we are. The end result is at least equal to our belief in the possibilities within us, keeping in mind that, sooner or later, reality will catch up to us, for better or for worse.

• A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush only applies to marital status nowadays, considering the sky-high costs it involves.

• I refuse to grow old. Aging makes me younger.

• Not debunking life too much is a way to keep the child within us alive.

• Time, effort, knowledge and vision, along with passion, are key ingredients in reaching excellence.

The only safety in life is to enjoy the risk of living.

Being fully aware of the diversity in the human race means being ready to accept the interdependence of all human beings.

In a person of heart and action, thinking and acting are one and the same.

Showing our confidence in the future is taking the first step towards control of our future.

The wonderful story of the world is written every day, by everyone of us.

Riches lives on Temerity Place, Prudence Crescent, Consistency Floor, Cleverness Hallway. Happiness starts with our first breath and is present in everything we do, at any time, if we wish it strongly enough.

Taken and translated from : Meditations, by Dr. Scott Peck; Thoughts and maxims for our time, by Louis-N. Fortin; Thoughts for thinking, by René Després.

Billions you said... ???

We are all billionnaire. As Louis.-N. Fortin put it, every human being is the undisputed master of the great kingdom of his thoughts and as such it is up to each individual to govern with wisdom his billions of subjects.

Life as per Dorothy Parker, (billionaire) : If I can't take it with me, I just don't want to go!

This century's attraction :
Vision without action is an hallucination.

What can you say about independence?

(Greek) Row your own boat.

(French) It does not appear that nature made man for independence.

(Malagasy) The wild cat may well be a rascal, it does not stop him from enjoying respect.

(Serbian) One who follows everyone does badly;
one who follows no one does worse.

Nothing in the world can replace perseverance. Not talent : nothing is sadder than the failure of a talented person. Not genius : it is proverbial that the genius is close to madness. Only perseverance and determination can win all.

Quality doesn't just happens: it always is the fruit of far-reaching intentions, sincere efforts, intelligent management and good execution.

No matter what the future has in store for us, nobody can take the past away from us. The present is to the past like a child we carry on our shoulders.

A question of attitude: when the world around us changes suddenly, the world may not be the one which changed...

A question of environment: how does one get rid of endemic welfare? Offer work. Welfare disappears in no time.
