“Your biggest challenge isn’t someone else. It’s the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells “CAN’T”, but you don’t listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper “can” and you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.” ~ Unknown

2. A soldier’s goodbye

A simple photo taken at some point during World War II, but the underlying story and truth are deep.  You never know when things will change, in this case drafted off to war where millions never returned, so it is important to never take the things you will one day, inevitably, leave for granted.

3. Kevin Knudson on being a teacher

“Not every teacher is a role model, but every role model is a teacher.” – Kevin Knudsen

4. Ken Robinson on being wrong

“If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.” – Ken Robinson
