"If there is something that you want to accomplish, it can be done. Not overnight but you can plan and work on it and eventually you will achieve it. You really can have and accomplish anything you want to with planning, hard work and time. Don't give up with the first bump in the road just pick yourself up and keep going."

- Donald Washbrook (aka. My Dad)
1941-2000

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

- Steve Jobs
1955-2011
