Dreaming Big...

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. (Notice the Google search caption)

It is customary on this day for people to give back some kind of service to their community. And truly, there couldn't be a better day to so.
Martin Luther King, Jr. is someone I've always admired... even from my early childhood I can remember being so fascinated by his ideas... how he spoke... and his love for all people.

I feel kinda like a hypocrite though... because I'm not partaking in any kind of "community service" today. (And to think, I want to join the Peace Corps. p"pscchh)

Random:... but, I wonder what Barack and Michelle Obama and their family are doing today... hhmmm...

Anyways, I leave you with some wise words by the man himself.

"Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent."

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"


"We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now."

"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step."

"The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: 'If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?' But... the good Samaritan reversed the question: 'If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?'"

"Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals."

"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word."



Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
