Representation Quote of the Day

Welcome to these Representation Quotes of the Day from my large collection of positive, romantic, and funny quotes.

always completely out of its original context -
and sometimes not an accurate representation
of the author's original words, let alone his intentions.

Which beliefs bring out the best in you?
Which beliefs hold you prisoner to yesterday
and limit your options for designing a great future?
Test your beliefs with as much objectivity
as you can bring to the subject.
Be willing to let go of those beliefs
that represent your parents' opinions,
or your communities opinions, rather than your own.
Those beliefs that withstand rigorous testing,
should become the foundation of your being -
your reason for living.
Take action on those beliefs.

for future generations.

but far more important...

to represent the kind of legacy
you want to leave to future generations.
