The Paradox of Failure

You have to fail more to succeed more. Our greatest moments of growth often stem directly from our greatest moments of failure.

Don’t fear failure. Learn to fail smart and fast—never fail the same way twice.

Leading Christie’s “Old Masters Evening Sale” on December 2 in London is Gerrit Dou’s first depiction of a musician The Flute Player (ca. 1636).

Before I know it

I do not understand why
Why I would be put through so much grief
I don't understand why I am feeling this way
I know that I've put this all on myself
a sense of hopelessness has began to settle in
I don't know what is to become of me
It's becoming harder to breathe
Should I end it all and leave this world prematurely?
I don't think I could carry through with that idea
My mind tells me to carry on
but my soul is tired, the light is dimming
My heart beats fast, fear sets in
If I go I hope I go quickly
I'm yearning to see you again
Walk with you in all of your greatness
I yearn for your hug, it will rejuvenate my mind, body, and soul
Oh how much I want to go
and leave this Hell on Earth
but I think I should stay here and complete my task
For I will be with you before the day turns black
And I'll be glad that I chose to stay
because there is so much that I want to say

Sure, the" target="_blank" class="inline-link">http://fourminutebooks.com... first summaries on here  aren’t nearly as good as some of the newer ones, but being okay with producing something that’s not as good is exactly what I needed to do before I was able to get here in the first place.

You have a right to create. No matter where you’re starting from. Whether you have always had a talent, or start at absolute zero. Tell yourself that. Say it out loud.

🎨 Art has the incredible power to transcend boundaries and connect us all.

Pressed

Were you thinking of me today
Am i ever what your thinking to say
Do you ever wonder about where i go
Ever wish you were there with me though?
I wonder where you are right now
Am i all alone somehow
No trust in myself
Not looking for help
Just wondering about all the things that were said
Did you mean what you said in my bed
Sorry for putting you there
All i wanted to do was care
Now you are lost and ive gone missing
Was it in my mind you and i were kissing
What have i done did i do it again
Did i fuck it all up to lose another friend
Now can i stop trying
Cause in this house im dying
They give me shit day in day out
All they ever fucking do is shout
Im trying to forgive myself for what ive done
These bruises and cuts have just begun
They settled me down pressed the pain within
Pressed in so deep it broke through the skin
Oh how it burns blood mixed with tears
Of all the pain i held through the years
Im cold weak and lonely
Im not waiting for you to start actin phony
Here we go i take my last breath
Wonder what theyll say now that i left...

Sing~a~Song~ of~Sixpence

sing a song of sixpence
a bottle full of rye
four and twenty blackbirds
baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened
the birds began to sing;
Who put that pastry on,
we could'nt see a thing!

The King was in the
counting house
Counting out
his money;

The Queen was
in the parlour,
Looking at him
kind of funny!

The maid was in the garden
hanging out the clothes;
where the king spends his cash,
she's the one who knows!

The Lord Of The Rings

This is one of the most influential fantasy series by J.R.R Tolkien. The Rings of Power are a metaphor of political power, and as they say, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The Rings powers cannot be used for good, even by the seemingly good people. The series is also critical of socialism and was reflective of the author’s disdain of industrialization and modern technology.
