The Friday Five
Better post this now before someone else does... ;p
Inspiration:
1. Most inspirational quote for you.
2. Favorite inspirational film?
3. Who has inspired you, and why?
4. If you were to die tomorrow and would have ONE saying that would live on forever, what would you leave behind?
5. What inspires you to continue, when you feel the least motivated (in whatever goal you are trying to accomplish)?
Re: The Friday Five
Inspiration:
1. Most inspirational quote for you.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.Ralph Waldo Emerson
2. Favorite inspirational film? I am kind of odd- Love Actually is one of my favorite ones- I was pretty jaded prior to meeting Mark and this movie gave me hope and helped me open up. Stupid I know but its true.
3. Who has inspired you, and why? My mom is my major inspiration- she was a wonderful nurse and very highly respected in her field before she passed away- She was a very strong woman, worker and mother. I hope I can be just like that with my child.
4. If you were to die tomorrow and would have ONE saying that would live on forever, what would you leave behind? That is a hard one- I dont think I could think of one now- will work to edit later.
5. What inspires you to continue, when you feel the least motivated (in whatever goal you are trying to accomplish)?Personal success- I am very highly motivated to not let anyone down including myself. Sometimes I push too hard, but I know I can only achieve this by myself.1. Most inspirational quote for you. Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." -- Dale Carnegie
2. Favorite inspirational film? Not really sure.
3. Who has inspired you, and why? My grandfather. His parents abandoned him in his brother in a park during the Great Depression. He took care of his brother the whole time, working several jobs. He put himself through college and then started to work some crappy jobs just to move up the ladder/gain experiance. He went from just having the clothing on his back to owning several houses/apartment houses in Boston & Cape Cod. It taught me that you can do almost anything if you are willing to put in the time and hard work.
4. If you were to die tomorrow and would have ONE saying that would live on forever, what would you leave behind? Never regret a decision you made in the past. Learn from it and move on. Dwelling on the past serves no purpose, only you can change your future.
5. What inspires you to continue, when you feel the least motivated (in whatever goal you are trying to accomplish)? Realizing that giving up is the quickest & only way to guarentee that you will fail. It's one thing to do everything in your power to suceed but fail vs. not even trying & failing.

"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." -- Dale Carnegie
"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." --Thomas A. Edison

Hardy, har, har - aren't you a funny guy! You have been MIA - so, I wasn't expecting you to post weekend plans!
Inspiration:
1. Most inspirational quote for you. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. - Eleanor Roosevelt
2. Favorite inspirational film? - Field of Dreams, "If you build it, he will come."
3. Who has inspired you, and why? My Gramps has always been the driving force behind every single decision I've ever made - even in his death. I've just always wanted to make him proud. So, I guess I'd say him.
4. If you were to die tomorrow and would have ONE saying that would live on forever, what would you leave behind? She believed she could, so she did. My senior year of college my BFF gave me a sign that has that quote and I try to live by it.
5. What inspires you to continue, when you feel the least motivated (in whatever goal you are trying to accomplish)? Failure. I guess I could say Ma Duke has also inspired me. I've always felt like nothing I ever did was good enough for her - so, it has always pushed me to prove her wrong. It's just not a positive inspiration...but she cosntantly tells me that I won't be able to do something - therefore, I push myself to prove that I can.
ETA: Rudy is also a great inspirational film. Pretty much - any sports movie is inspirational in my book.
You also didn't ask. ;P
