L'optimisme, ce n'est pas le refus de voir ce qui ne va pas, c'est le désir de ne pas s'y attarder. // Donne moi le courage de changer les choses que je peux changer, la sérénité d'accepter celles que je ne peux pas changer, et la sagesse de distinguer entre les deux. (Marc Aurèle) // Don't raise your voice; improve your argument. (Desmond Tutu) // Be the change you want to see in the world. (Gandhi)

21.1.14

It's the story of the two salesmen who went down to Africa in the 1900s. 
They were sent down to find if there was any opportunity for selling shoes, and they wrote telegrams back to Manchester. 
- And one of them wrote, "Situation hopeless. Stop.They don't wear shoes." 
- And the other one wrote, "Glorious opportunity. They don't have any shoes yet."
