Brave

You wanna run away, run away and you say that it can’t be so.
You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause’ it’s all so close.
When you stand up and hold out your hand.
In the face of what I don’t understand.
My reason to be brave.

(Josh Groban - Brave)

Inspiration

People get impressed by others so easily... whether a person is good-looking, rich, smart, ambitious, hard-working, famous, patient or clever, he often succeeds in easily impressing a few others with his good qualities. Nowadays, it happens for sure if the person is a public figure - the smallest qualities are exaggerated to a ridiculous point just for this purpose.

But the superficiality is quickly exposed... because the impression remains just that - an impression. You know a person's qualities are truly genuine when he can not only impress others, but also inspire them. When you admire someone for his qualities in such a manner that you aspire becoming like them and you try the hardest to achieve this goal, it means his virtues are indeed valuable. The next step is to further portray these qualities in such a way that you can also inspire others, not just impress them.

Dedicated to...

Sometimes, when we accomplish some great achievement in our lives, we think we deserve the admiration of every one around us.

It's such a big event when we discover a new chemical element, a new life form or a new planet. It's the front page news when we create a new robot or when we make a medical breakthrough. We are heroes... for a day... for a week maybe... After that, people forget our great deeds and we strive once more for regaining our lost fame.

But we are all equally famous in front of death. It knows everyone of us and it knows all our deeds... and they are equally important.

What matters, is how people remember us after...

Hidden Away

Hidden Away lyrics
Songwriters: Josh Groban; Daniel Dodd Wilson;

Over mountains and sky blue seas
On great circles, will you watch for me?
The sweetest feeling I've got inside
I just can't wait to get lost in your eyes

And all these words that you meant to say
Held in silence day after day
Words of kindness that our poor hearts crave
Please, don't keep them hidden away

Sing it out so I can finally breathe in
I can take in all the same
Holding out for something I believe in
All I really need today

I want to free your heart, I want to see your heart
Please, don't keep your heart hidden away

You're a wonder, how bright you shine
A flickered candle in a short lifetime
A secret dreamer that never shows
If no one sees you then nobody knows

And all these words you were meant to say
Held in silence day after day
Words of kindness that our poor hearts crave
Please, don't keep them hidden away

Sing it out so I can finally breathe in
I can take in all the same
Reaching out for someone I believe in
All I really need today

I want to feel your love, will you reveal your love?
Please, don't keep your love hidden away
I want to free your heart, I want to see your heart
Please, don't keep your heart hidden away

... it's one of my favourite quotes... and I find it to be so true.

"I don't know where the moral is..."

...the sea will swallow up the mountains...

...
and gone are the days of rainbows
and gone are the nights of swinging from the stars
for the sea will swallow up the mountains
and the sky will throw thunderbolts and sparks
straight at you, but I'll come running
straight to you, but I'll come running one more time.

(Josh Groban - Straight To You)

The song is written by Nick Cave. The original version, sang by Nick, is also very nice, although his voice is very different (for those who want to listen :) ). Anyway, a big credit must go to him, as the lyrics are truly nice.
