“I can still bring into my body
the joy I felt at seeing the first trillium of spring,
which seemed to be telling me,
"Never give up hope, spring will come.”

Up In The Air
 |
| "Up in the air- A l'aire" Montse |
“Life is a repeated
cycle of getting lost and then finding yourself again.
There are many smaller cycles within that cycle where
you get lost to a smaller degree and then remember yourself again.
Sometimes you do it to yourself on purpose, consciously or unconsciously.
Every time you get lost it is so that you can learn something
or experience something from a different perspective.”

Passion
 |
…the indestructible force of
energy that prevails when someone
…tells us something can’t be done
and we do it anyway
…advises that the goal is too
high and we surpass it
…places an obstacle in front of
us and we power through it
…challenges us, dares us, defies
us or worst of all, underestimates us
“Passion is the deliberate force
of energy that transforms
superfluous energy and pent up
frustration
into positive, effective,
unstoppable determination.”

Musketeers
 |
“This world is an uncertain
realm, filled with danger.
Honor undermined by the pursuit
of power,
freedom sacrificed when the weak
are oppressed by the strong.
But there are those who oppose
these powerful forces,
who dedicate their lives to
truth, honor, and freedom.
These people are known as
Musketeers.
Rise, D'Artagnan, and join them!”

Integrity
 |
| “Needle” Vladimir Katiev |
Employee + Corporate Culture =
Mutually Beneficial Relationship
Three key qualities to look for
in a target organization include
integrity, intelligence, and
energy.
If the first is lacking in the
organization’s DNA,
know that the other two will kill
you.
If you think about it; it’s true.
The foundation of any mutually
beneficial relationship
requires integrity of behalf of
its key constituents;
integrity is the key factor that
ensures happiness and success.”
Composition inspired by a quote
from Warren Buffet,
experienced through the lens of a
job seeker.

War
 |
| Redemption Terry Donnelly |
Sometimes there exists a struggle within. It is a battle between you, yourself and the Universe.
“Never think that war
is a good thing, grandchildren.
Though it may be necessary at times to defend our beliefs.
War is a sickness that must be cured.
War is a time out of balance.
When it is truly over, we must strive to restore peace
and enjoy sacred harmony once again.”
- Joseph Bruchac, “Code Talker”
“Know thyself. Win the war.”

Power

“I've been beaten up and bruised, I've been
knocked right off my shoes.
I’ve been down on my knees more times than you'd believe.
Yet, when the darkness tries to hold me back,
I’ve been down on my knees more times than you'd believe.
Yet, when the darkness tries to hold me back,
there's a light deep
within that just won't let me stop.”

To UnLove
 |
| "Happy Valentines Day" - Leila Raymond |
“You can never stop
loving someone.
You either love them or you never did.
You can't just love them one day, and then the next day you've completely moved on.
It doesn't work like that.
You may find new people to love, but it doesn't replace those whom you’ve loved in the past.
Even if they never loved you, even if they found someone new,
you continue loving them either consciously or unconsciously.
Love simply begins, it has no ending.”

Prudence
 |
| "Jaisalmer" Lou Urlings |
We all have a few pivotal
experiences in life that change the course of our thoughts and actions.
These moments crystalize in our
mind and are ever present.
They mark an event we remember
every year for the rest of our lives.
There comes a time when a deep
intrinsic voice inside of us emerges to defend who we are
from the depths of our
being. It is the voice of prudence.
Prudence coupled with grace takes
over for patience when we have been
pushed against a wall. It is the deep fight or flight mechanism that
emerges and
gives us the courage to stand up
and defend ourselves in the face of danger.
When prudence takes over the
victim present inside us all ceases when
we stand up in opposition of
anything that oppresses or intimidates us.
Something powerfully intrinsic
happens when the courage to no longer be silent awakens
within us and we are compelled to
confront our problems rather than cower to them.
The things that torment us thrive
on our hushed fears and insecurities and they are
made powerless by a resilient
voice; an inner voice that says...
“No More!"

“Perhaps Sadness will use the

will rush headlong into the blinding light of the Day,
to kiss it full and hard upon the mouth and embrace life's brilliance once more...”

To Be Different
 |
| ” Somehow Different” Laszlo Baranyai |
“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

To Take Flight
 |
| "Flamingos" Confusor |
“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings,
the winds will carry you.”

Sunscreen
“Eighty percent of our waking moments are spent with people at work,
10% of our waking moments is spent with those we love,
and the remaining 10% is spent dreaming.”
10% of our waking moments is spent with those we love,
and the remaining 10% is spent dreaming.”
We all have a unique story to tell about our experience here. Wherever our story takes us, there remain a few fundamental truths we all share in common as human beings.
Baz Luhrmann, captured this in his speech “To Wear Sunscreen.”The thoughts shared in the speech address the generations of the past, the present and the future. It speaks to every gender, color, race, religion and science.
Mr. Luhrmann successfully captured the fundamental experiences human beings, share in common, at one time or another. His advice about the use of sunscreen, applies to our bodies, to our thoughts, our actions, and our deeds.
