This year, my theme is Quotes from A-Z. Each day I will post a quote from a person whose name starts with each day's letter. It will be short and sweet but hopefully it will bring a moment of inspiration, laughter, or meditation to your busy day. I would love to hear your thoughts on the quotes in the comments or what other quote is your favorite by that day's person. On each Saturday, I will list all the quotes from the week and you can vote to tell me which was your favorite!
G is for Mohandas Gandhi
(1869-1948)

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
What have you learned this week?
Kathy
That's a brilliant quote.
ReplyDeleteAll I've learned this week is when I make plans, I get ill. Hoping for some more profound learning next week!
Annalisa, writing A-Z vignettes, at Wake Up, Eat, Write, Sleep
That is brilliant all right.
ReplyDeleteI learned that there are some pretty cool ideas for how to tackle this A to Z Challenge. I love this approach. Can you imagine what today could be like if we heed Gandhi's advice?
ReplyDelete- Eli @ Coach Daddy (#1228)
A wise man indeed.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think the learning part is more important!
ReplyDeleteAnnalisa- Oh I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteAlex- :)
Eli- Thanks! I know, he also said, "My life is My Message." and I think that is such a wonderful sentiment. If we could each live the life we believe in it would be a wonderful world.
LD- He sure was.
JE- I love learning!!
That is a great quote because that's about how we should live. No one is guaranteed even our next breath. What have I learned this week? Its not fun to be on mandatory overtime during A/Z challenge; its cutting into my blogging time :)

That really is a great quote... That was one smart cookie, that Mr. Ghandi.
ReplyDeleteWhat have I learnt this week... all my "normal" writing goals are OUT the window as I struggle to keep up with posting and commenting :)
What great advice. I love all his quotes.
ReplyDeleteThere is of course a consequence to living as if this is your last day. My father died when he was forty nine and being the kind of person I am got me to believing I would too. I lived the first forty nine years of my life at breakneck speed, AND THEN I TURNED FIFTY.
ReplyDeleteIt has been difficult to motivate myself since then, I've already done everything I wanted to do. What now? :)
For my fiftieth birthday I jumped the highest bungee jump in the world 216 meters.
Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to learn now, ha, ha, ha.
