I have been going through my older quote posts and either adding or updating images, then dribbling them out to my friends on Facebook. Here are a few of the recent ones.

Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t—you’re right.

Umair Haque on Life

1. You can't follow the rules and achieve much but mediocrity.

2. The rules exist to keep the less than average at the average, not to enable the average to excel.

3. If you want to improve your life, cut the bullshit. Spend time on poetry, art, math, science, and great books.

4. Don't idolize people who've just made money. Look up to people worth looking up to.

5. If you don't love anyone or anything, your life will always feel empty. And it's a sign that you're not becoming your true self.

6. Bonus. Don't ever (ever) waste a second of your time on cynics, fools, wimps, and haters. They'll poison the good stuff in you.
