Dreams

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Mark Twain

Picture is of Akira Kurosawa's Dreams a series of 8 short films by one of the greatest directors of all times. For a review read Danel Griffin's guide to Cinema.

Very grateful to you, Optimism, for that beautiful quote by Mark Twain, for it is so true. At the end of one's life I am pretty sure we will feel let down not by our actions but by our inaction.

Thank you also for the link which I have bookmarked...I love international cinema and am always on the look for good, artsy movie recommendations.

Forget the end of the life, I'v never had regrets bout what I have done, I have although had regrets about what I have not done, missed opportunities and stuff, thats why now when i feel i should do something I don't think much at what the outcome will be but I do it anyway in hopes of the best. You are welcome for the link :-) I guess I owe you at least that much for your great book reviews.
