"An artist's first responsibility is to himself." -- Miles Davis

Motivation

"A ship in a harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are for." - William Shedd: DO something with your life! Make yourself useful. God has given each of us talents to be used to build. How tragic to just sit there and do nothing.

"Do not fear mistakes, there are none." - Miles Davis: The legendary jazz trumpeter had something. He was not afraid to reinvent himself. With this idea in perspective, how can we go wrong? Everything, even a "mistake", can be something valuable.

"The purpose of man is in action, not thought." - Thomas Carlyle: We were born into this world for a reason. It is good to think, but eventually we need to act. Our lives are meant to be lived in motion, not in stagnancy.
