Quotes

  • The sun will rise and set regardless of what happens in between. Going to work, going to school, making dinner, cleaning the house, spending time with family and friends, participating in hobbies - all of these things are done within the confines of the day, within the confines of time. And yet the world keeps turning eastbound.
  • The road to success is always under construction. It's like a freeway or a highway. When you drive out of your driveway, you have an idea of where you want to end up. But you don't necessarily know what you'll see along the way, who you'll meet, what they'll tell you, or what kind of weather you'll hit. You don't even necessarily know how long the trip will take you. There are always detours, roadblocks, accidents, and breakdowns along the way. But barring any major catastrophes, you can always be sure that if you stay eastbound, eventually you'll reach your destination.
  • Going eastbound is like going forward. It's like running towards the horizon. You don't know what's beyond, but you keep going because you want to see what's there.
