Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Helen Keller

I watched and interview with the 2007 Superbowl winning coach, Tony Dungy, and one thing he said during the interview hit me like a 280 lb defensive tackle. It was something very close to this. (I may have missed a couple of words) "Great people are not people that do great things, they are people that do everyday things exceptionally well."

Hey guys, I love this thread I hope it keeps going.

Lets have a phone.Its really amazing and a wonderful joke that happened in my house 6 months back.Here we have a toy snake which looks like original one.Here there is one servant to do outside jobs like digging and cleaning.He is a particular type of person.One day we did one thing.We put that snake where he sits usually.When he saw that snake he dint move for a while.He wanted to take his clothes but he is afraid.If the snake attacks him.He looked for a while and a little breeze came and the snake moved a little.He jumped from that place with his life.He came to tell that there is one snake.I and my friends never minded that.We were watching his movements from start to end.

Lets have a fun.This happened three months back in my house.There is a toy snake which have originality.Me and my friends did one thing with that.Here there is a servant who works outside the house.He is a peculiar character.We kept that snake where he keeps his clothes so that when he can see it.When he went there to take his clothes he saw the snake and dint know what to do.He looked for a while whether the snake was moving.But after sometimes a little breeze came and the snake fell down.He jumped out and ran with his full life.

Memento Mori

Memento mori is a Latin phrase that may be freely translated as "Remember that you are mortal," "Remember you will die," or "Remember your death". It names a genre of artistic creations that vary widely from one another, but which all share the same purpose, which is to remind people of their own mortality.

In ancient Rome, the phrase is said to have been used on the occasions when a Roman general was parading through the streets of Rome during the victory celebration known as a triumph. Standing behind the victorious general was a slave, and he had the task of reminding the general that, though he was up on the peak today, tomorrow was another day. The servant did this by telling the general that he should remember that he was mortal: "Memento mori."
