Whiteboard Quotes
I was working in my old building this morning and saw these quotes on Laura/Nitesh’s old whiteboard which didn’t get erased before we moved. Found them pretty inspirational so you know me, I took a picture of them with my iPhone so they could be shared with the world.
Bear Bryant CEO Poem
This is the beginning of a new day.
God has given me this day to use as I will.
I can waste it or I can use it for good.
What I do today is very important because I’m exchanging a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes this day will be gone, forever,
Leaving something in its place I have traded for it.
I want it to be gain, not loss, good, not evil,
Success, not failure, in order that I shall not
forget the price I paid for it.

Went to Santana Row for lunch at a really yummy Mexican restaurant. Then we went to Pinkberry for dessert and I had a small original with fruity pebbles and chocolate chips which was amazing. Then we went to the Tech Museum of Innovation where we saw an IMAX movie about flight which was amazing. Had coffee at a really cool cafe in downtown San Jose.
Lizard Under My Pillow
So I woke up early this morning and was working on my computer. I like to sit in front of a space heater and blog (doesn’t get much better than that). I had a pillow on the floor with me when I started feeling something moving under the pillow. I ignored it after 2-3 times of feeling it until I lifted up the pillow to discover a lizard was under it which scared me good as I was not exactly expecting to see that by any means. Here is the video of my encounter and please note that no lizards were harmed during the making of this video so it is PETA friendly. OK I couldn’t help saying damn, I guess I was still stunned I was laying on top of a lizard…

Starfish
Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?”
The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.”
“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”
“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.”
“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said- “It made a difference for that one.”
How many “starfish” do you come across in a day?
