A little bit of reckless abandon is a good thing.

You Know You’re an Engineer If…

You tell jokes that are met with stares unless the audience has had classes in multivariate calculus and particle physics

Dilbert is your hero

Prior to buying your girlfriend an engagement ring, you confirm the correct ring size by secretly measuring one of her other rings, with a set of calipers

You’re driving in a small town in Germany and don’t get lost

You still have your original Erector Set in its little red metal suitcase (even if some parts are missing)

You know exactly how many steps there are in a set of stairs you take on a daily basis

Your wife adds “…and give me the short version” to the end of any question about how something works

You like repairing things more than actually using them

You tried to take the fetal monitor apart in between contractions

You can name 6 Star Trek episodes

Terry’s Birthday Thoughts – What I Learned

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

Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive, because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive, because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny.

Gandhi

The best work is not what is most difficult for you…It is what you do best.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Keep the faith. The most amazing things in life tend to happen right at the moment you’re about to give up hope.

Quote: Keep the faith

Don’t be afraid to take a big step…You can’t cross a chasm in two small jumps.

David Lloyd George

A little bit of reckless abandon is a good thing.

You can fail at what you DON’T want [to be doing], so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.

Jim Carrey

The glory of God is man fully alive.

St. Iraeneas
