About Me


"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is not a destination, its a journey"
--Souza
"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." --Socrates
"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest." --Confucius

"Be the change that you want to see in the world." --Mohandas Gandhi
"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." --Mohandas Gandhi
