Just some thoughts on life…

A tree without a root doesn’t survive. No matter where you’re heading, never forget where you come from.
Don’t let your aspirations distract you from the little things that get you there.
Don’t go too fast because love is slow.
Don’t go alone because together you can go further.
Be thankful for what you have and don’t look at what you think you need.
Thank God everyday for the people in your life because they are there for a reason.
Don’t try to make sense out of everything in life, just accept it and be happy.
If you learn to wait patiently, you will end up with the best.
Always give and never expect anything in return.
Just say no to those that try to take advantage of you.
Just because it feels good doesn’t mean it’s the right thing.
Pride and arrogance proceeds the fall so be humble and never look down on anyone.
Help others because they might be the ones helping you one day.
Smile always, especially when you don’t feel like it.
Care about other people and think about how you can make their day better, everyday.
Don’t waste you’re time trying to live someone else’s life.
You are better at being yourself than anyone else in the world, so be proud of it.
Believe in yourself and don’t let other people’s opinions bring you down.
Don’t worry about what other people are thinking of you but what God is thinking of you.
The more you ask for, the more will be required of you.

Any thoughts? =)

“Earlier today, IBM and Disney unveiled a new SmarterPlanet exhibit at INNOVENTIONS at Epcot in Orlando, Florida. In exploring this exhibit, millions of Epcot visitors from every corner of the world will understand the individual role they play in creating a smarter planet. When they leave, we hope they are inspired to consider how they can contribute to making the world work better.”

Social Media Breakfast Austin

This is a collage I put together with some of the pictures from the Social Media Breakfast Austin on January 27 at Mandola’s Italian Market.

Kevin O’Brien and Rachel Farris from PetRelocation.com talked about how their business uses social media to build a community in a niche industry. You can check out their presentation and the video from the event here.

*Special thanks to Callie Richmond for taking all the pictures!
