GRACE UNDER PRESSURE
John Everett Millais
Art. Pre-Raphaelites. Shakespeare. Indie/Guitar/Rock/Classical Music. Taylor Swift.
'I think about what I’d think of my decisions when I’m 80 looking back, and it helps me make sound, responsible choices.' - Taylor Swift
(If you are a band following me in the hopes I will check out your music, I'm sorry but I probably won't. I don't mean to be rude. I usually find new music through NME Radio.)
Sang froid and Equanimity. Grace under pressure.
'Fill the unforgiving minute...'.
'Oh, Maya says I'm lacking in depth,
I will do my best' - The Strokes
'You're all Chrome' - Heads Will Roll - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
'The ballad of a dove. Go with peace and love.' - The Band Perry
'Excuse me if I spoke too soon
My eyes have always followed you around the room' - NGHFB
'Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine / And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time' - Open Your Eyes - SP
'Shut your eyes, I spin the big chair / And you'll feel dizzy, light, and free / And falling gently on the cushion / You can come and sing to me' - Shut Your Eyes - SP
'Come to me. Just in a dream. Come on and rescue me' - Madness - Muse
Desire leads to SUFFERING.
'The whole of life becomes an act of letting go but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.' - Life of Pi

The Measure of a Man
#The Measure of a Man

Not - How did he die? But - How did he live?
Not - What did he gain? But - What did he give?
These are the things that measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not - What was his station? But - had he a heart?
And - How did he play his God-given part?
Was he ever ready with a word of good cheer?
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not - What was his church? Not - What was his creed?
But - Had he befriended those really in need?
Not - What did the sketch in the newspaper say?
But - How many were sorry when he passed away?
These are the things that measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
