Quote of the day; Strength. . .
“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt
Quote of the day
“Whatever you are, be a good one.”
― Abraham Lincoln
Follow Your Dreams . . .
I have been asked the question as a self-published author, How do you measure success and failure?
Success is defined by Merriam-Webster as: the correct or desired result of an attempt; favorable or desired outcome.
Failure is defined by Merriam-Webster as: omission of occurrence or performance; specifically: a failing to perform a duty or expected action.
Too often it seems people make up their own definition of success and failure for others and as a result so many people give up on their dreams and goals because of the misuse of these two words. If I have reached my goal then I have succeeded. If I haven’t, well, I won’t give up until I have. If I give up, then I have failed, and only then.
Henry Ford said it best, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, either way you’re right.”
Do not let others define your success for you. You are the only one who can define success for yourself. Be true to yourself and follow your dreams. It may not be easy, but believe me, it’s worth it!
Sincerely,
Day Parker

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

Quote of the day
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
Quote of the day
From all that I have seen, time and time again, at least 90% of success derives from having a dream and knowing what you want. – Billy Cox
Quote of the day
“You want to remember that while you’re judging the book, the book is also judging you.”

Battle For The Net
If you woke up tomorrow, and your internet looked like this, what would you do? Imagine all your favorite websites taking forever to load, while you get annoying notifications from your ISP suggesting you switch to one of their approved “Fast Lane” sites.Think about what we would lose: all the weird, alternative, interesting, and enlightening stuff that makes the Internet so much cooler than mainstream Cable TV. What if the only news sites you could reliably connect to were the ones that had deals with companies like Comcast and Verizon?On September 10th, just a few days before the FCC’s comment deadline, public interest organizations are issuing an open, international call for websites and internet users to unite for an “Internet Slowdown” to show the world what the web would be like if Team Cable gets their way and trashes net neutrality. Net neutrality is hard to explain, so our hope is that this action will help SHOW the world what’s really at stake if we lose the open Internet.If you’ve got a website, blog or tumblr, get the code to join the #InternetSlowdown here: https://battleforthenet.com/sept10thEveryone else, here’s a quick list of things you can do to help spread the word about the slowdown: http://tumblr.fightforthefuture.org/post/96020972118/be-a-part-of-the-great-internet-slowdown Get creative! Don’t let us tell you what to do. See you on the net September 10th!
