Hello reader,
I am sorry to say that I didn’t really come around to posting lately and neither has Lysanne. I will give you some Words Of Wisdom and a movie recommendation for the month of November.
Words Of Wisdom 21st of November
“The greatest thing in the world is not so much where we are,
but in what direction we are moving.”
by Oliver Wendell Holmes
I think this quote really has so much truth that I felt obliged to post it for you here.
Movie Recommendation, November
The Bucket List (released in 2007 (US))
Jack Nicholson as Edward and Morgan Freeman as Carter in The Bucket List
This movie is about two elder men who learn to know that they have only a limited time left to live. They decide to make the best of it and do the things they always wanted to do. The main actors are Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson.
I wanted to give you this recommendation because this move really moved me and at times made me laugh. The story was just beautiful and had much to do with living, dreams and family. Something I think is just right for this blog, and fits with the kind of stuff we post here.
Well this was it for today, I hope you enjoyed it.
Farewell,
Marius

Hi everyone,
Like Lysanne wrote we have some busy days and don’t really get around to writing much here. I have to travel about 3 hours a day now for my university so it is really time consuming.
Still I thought it would be necessary to put something up for you, so here are some Words Of Wisdom:
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
This tells us that going forward is always necessary even if it sometimes look desperate, one can only go forward.
Safe Travels,
Marius

Dear all,
another set of words of wisdom today. I read them this morning and found they might be the red-line leading us through our lives…or at least in a live of peace…. Maybe you want to think about it yourself because you find I’m just babbling nonsense, which might by the by very well be so.
So here you go, today’s Words of Wisdom:
“There is no way to peace; peace is the way.”
A. J. Muste
Go safely, as always, and have a gorgeous day!
hugs,
Lysanne

Oh Dear,
another weekend during which we abandonned and neglected you. I am so sorry. There is a reason though, not that it gave us the right to, but just so you can maybe understand. The Universities just started their classes again, and as a fresher you are being dazzled and numbed with so many information; new classes, new classmates, you are being shown the place over a 100 times and being told the same story even more than just a couple of 100 times. Then there is the fact that maybe the Uni is far away from home and you need to move out (as is my problem). You have your own little room now far away from home, suddenly need to arrange a lot more than just your breakfast, lunch and keeping your toom tidy. All this comes running straight to you and hits you with full force.
So please believe me when I say I am sorry and will try to do better and really be here daily.
As I have neglected your hunger for wisdom ( 
) there are two sets of words here tonight.
The first one is, in my eyes, a very gentle and caring one. Help others whenever you can, or let them help themselves with what you know. Isn’t that a nice thing to try to do?
“If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.”
Margaret Fuller
The second one is a little review on ourselves. And if you are truly honest, don’t you think it is true?
“Our envy of others devours us most of all.”
Alexander Solzhenitsyn
I think I have babbled on enough for too, and considering I’m a busy little bee lately I suppose I do justice to the name of the blog 
Have a great morning/afternoon/night wherever you are.
Go safely,
Lysanne

Here is today’s set of words. I read them this morning and found they were so very true. I have been on summerbreak for almost 3 months now and I’m am feeling so very bored by all the reading I have been doing. So when I read today’s words of wisdom I decided I could bake a bread, and believe it or not, I feel so much better now! The thingie is to be put in the oven in about 10 minutes and so all I have been doing is making the dough and I feel so much happier already than I felt this morning when I was bored stiff!!
“The happy people are those who are producing something; the bored people are those who are consuming much and producing nothing.”
William Ralph Inge
I hope your day will be splendid, whether you are bored or not
Go safely,
Lysanne

I am sorry for not posting the last few days but today I bring you some wise words to think about.
This time it is about having hope.
“Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.”
Dorothy Thompson
Remember these words and keep hope,
Marius

Good afternoon everybody,
another set of words of wisdom for today.
I know it might seem a bit strange, but smiling, as today’s words say, can really lift up your own heart, as well as the hearts of people around you. Smile and people will smile back, you’ll see that you’ll feel so much better!
“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
Information about Thich Nhat Hanh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thich_Nhat_Hanh
Go safely and remember: Smiles are free!

First of all: I’m sorry for the lack of words of wisdom in the past few days. I have been away unexpectedly and could not manage to log in on the internet.
As for today: A nice set of words, very true and will show you that making mistakes is no crime but simply a way to perfection.
“Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.”
Barry LePatner
So now, don’t hessitate to jump into new things, if you make a mistake by doing so, remember that the mistake was there to make you learn from it!
Go safely,
Lysanne

The words I wanted to share with you are:
“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.”
by Albert Einstein
When I read this words I immediately recognized their truth. It is always easy to make things more complicated but keeping things easy is much more difficult and can be really hard at times.
Much luck in your life,
Marius

Tags: book, Earthsea, fantasy, life, Monthly Movie Recommendation, soul touching
I decided to start another tradition from now on I will post a movie recommendation every month or so, these will be posted around the 20th of every month.
Earthsea
The first movie I would like to recommend to you is the Miniseries “Legend of Earthsea”.
The story of this movie is originally from a book series called the “Tales from Earthsea” by Ursula Le Guin.
The story is set in a world called Earthsea, a world of magic and mystical creatures. It tells about the young Ged and his path to becoming a wizard.
In a way one could compare Earthsea to stories like Lord Of The Rings. But not on that large a scale but in no way lesser in my eyes.
That is why I want to recommend you this movie, it really has touched my soul while I was watching it. It made me think about myself and my path in life and I wanted the movie to never end.
I hope this movie can help you find your path and touch your soul like it did mine.
Always,
Marius
