I am a student of process and progress. Looking for the beauty in EVERYTHING has been my arena of concentration lately. Observe the world with an objective mind state and try to appreciate shit you take for granted. My name is Paul O'Rourke and I am fascinated by the human mind. Basketball and art are my passions, and I maintain a very warm body temperature throughout all four seasons. The sun is my very good friend, and sleep is death's niece. Put those concepts together and you will find that I am very driven to get a lot done while on living under the sun and amongst life. Being alive at this encapsulation of time is an amazing thing to behold. Success is measured by how many lives you touch in a positive way, not so much how many sports cars you have. This is just one man's opinion. The paradox that is life tells me that perfection will never be achieved, but because of this fact we have the ability TO BE HAPPY and appreciate each other. If it weren't for pain and suffering, we could not appreciate pleasure and happiness. It would be a constant, like the speed of light...I really don't have time or desire for tangents, but you get the idea. The bottom line is this: we were put here to be happy and make others happy. Pretty simple, right?''The man who makes a success of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can't be done.''C. V. White''Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.''Thomas Jefferson''Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.''William Shakespeare''On every thorn, delightful wisdom grows, In every rill a sweet instruction flows.''Edward Young
