Day 158 (208) – Quote Unquote

I spent some time today catching up on the Funny Indian’s blog (I’m still some days behind), and came across this amazing post of 50 of his top principles. Rajiv’s an incredibly smart guy, and knows what he’s doing both in the corporate and stand-up worlds, so I found his post insightful and inspiring (kind of like that “Wear Sunscreen” thing from a few years ago).

Scattered throughout Rajiv’s post are some great quotes, some from historical figures, some from songs, some from movies. I’ve always wanted to be quoted for something cool (it’s one of my life’s 100 goals), but at my current rate, the only thing I’d be quoted on is something like “That’s two decades in penis years.”

I don’t know what it is about certain quotes, but they always seem so inspiring. It can be the simplicity of something like “Just Do It” that makes a quote powerful, or just a clever way of saying something that gives you confidence – “I sell ice in the winter, I sell fire in Hell, I am hustla baby, I’ll sell water to a well.” Either way, it just makes you want to go out and accomplish something.

Maybe one of these days I’ll say something incredibly profound that other people will be inspired by, and if I’m lucky it will be something punny too. Tonight is most likely not that night, and I’d like to leave you with some final words of wisdom from somebody famous, but I believe I’ve reached my quote-a … (ba don cha).
