Charlie Crews - Life
When you find yourself in some far off place,
And it causes you to rethink some things,
You start to sense that slowly you're becoming someone else,
And then you find yourself.
When you make new friends in a brand new town,
And you start to think about settlin' down,
The things that would have been lost on you are now clear as a bell,
And you find yourself, that's when you find yourself.
Where you go through life so sure of where youre headed,
And you wind up lost and it's the best thing that could have happened,
'Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's just as well,
Because you find yourself. yeah, that's when you find yourself.
When you meet the one that you've been waitin' for,
And she's everything that you want and more,
You look at her and you finally start to live for some one else,
And then you find yourself, that's when you find yourself.
We go through life so sure of where we're headed,
And we wind up lost and it's the best thing that could have happened,
'Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's really just as well,
Because you find yourself, yeah, that's when you find yourself...

Wayne Dixon - My own Thoughts
Growing Up Is Not An Absence Of Dreaming,
Its Being Able To Understand The Difference Between,
The Ones You Can Hold,
And The Ones That You've Been Sold,
But Dreaming Is A Good Thing,
Cause It Brings New Things To Life,
But Pretending Is An Ending,
That Perpetuates A Lie,
Forgetting What You Are Seeing,
For What You've Been Told.
Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction,
And This Is My Chance To Get It Right,
Life Is Much Better Without All Of Those Pretty Lies,
So Goodbye Alice In Wonderland,
You Can Keep Your Yellow Brick Road,
Cause There Is A Difference Between Dreaming And Pretending,
Jewel - Alice in Wonderland
And We Turn as We Must,

For everyone that's helped pave my way
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here today.
All my friends, the girls, the broken hearts
All the critics, cynics, and doubters y'all know who you are
Those looking down from up there
I didn't get here alone
That road's just too rough alone
I might be the one the spotlight's on
But I didn't get here alone
Yeah, I Know I didn't get here alone

You’re coming up like a flower, You’re coming up through the cracks that live ‘round here, Everybody know we have no fear
We are the wind of change change coming, We take a stand where so many never go, We will shout it out to let you know, This is my generation
We want an answer to the questions, We want to knock down all the walls they built for you, We want to know the truth not be lied to
We want to know the face of freedom, We want to make a place where we can learn to love, Build a world that we can be proud of, This is my generation
Cause we just want to dance all night, Live inside the spark of life, This might be the only time around
Cause we just want to dance all night, Live inside the spark of life, This might be the only time around
You’re coming up like a flower, You’re coming up through the cracks that live ‘round here, Everybody knows we have no fear, This is our generation
Emerson Hart - Generation
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave bereft
I am not there. I have not left.
Mary Elizabeth Frye -
Before reality threw up the roadblocks
And nothin was out of our reach
Time flowed smooth as a waltz, so it seemed
We were dancin with dreams

Life is a UI problem
Jeff Jarvis -
We might be oil and water, this could be a big mistake,
We might burn like gasoline and fire,
It's a chance we'll have to take.
We may shine, we may shatter,
We may be picking up the pieces here on after,
We are fragile, we are human,
And we are shaped by the light we let through us,
We break fast, cause we are glass.
We are glass.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Steve Jobs - Apple, Inc.
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.
Steve Jobs -
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle."
