Don't Quit

 

You are not too old

 

On the banks of the Danube River, in the city of Budapest, Hungary, you can find 60 pairs of seasonal shoes.

On the banks of the Danube River, in the city of Budapest, Hungary, you can find 60 pairs of seasonal shoes. They were laid on the shore of the water, scattered and abandoned, as if their owners had just left them there. If you look closer, you can see that they are rusted, which were made of iron and tied to concrete.

This is a memorial in tribute to the Hungarian Jews who, in the winter of 1944-1945, were shot on the spot by members of the Cruz Flechada Party, an ally of Nazist Germany.

The monument, installed in 2005, was idealized by film director Can Togay, and created together with sculptor Gyula Pauer.

Beautiful wood works - When the uncarved wood is split, its parts are put to use. When the sage is put to use, he becomes the head.

Happy Valentines Day

 

To be Yourself is the greatest accomplishment.

 

“I have forgiven mistakes that were indeed almost unforgivable. - Charlie Chaplin

 “I have forgiven mistakes that were indeed almost unforgivable. I’ve tried to replace people who were irreplaceable and tried to forget those who were unforgettable. I’ve acted on impulse, have been disappointed by people when I thought that this could never be possible. But I have also disappointed those who I love. I have laughed at inappropriate occasions. I’ve made friends that are now friends for life. I’ve screamed and jumped for joy. I’ve loved and I’ve been loved. But I have also been rejected and I have been loved without loving the person back. I’ve lived for love alone and made vows of eternal love. I’ve had my heart broken many, many times! I’ve cried while listening to music and looking at old pictures. I’ve called someone just to hear their voice on the other side. I have fallen in love with a smile. At times, I thought I would die because I missed someone so much. At other times, I felt very afraid that I might loose someone very special (which ended up happening anyway.) But I have lived! And I still continue living everyday. I’m not just passing through life… and you shouldn’t either. Live! The best thing in life is to go ahead with all your plans and your dreams, to embrace life and to live everyday with passion, to lose and still keep the faith and to win while been grateful. All of this because the world belongs to those who dare to go after what they want. And because life is really too short to be insignificant.”
