"You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."

“Ever since the beginning of wisdom, man has been fashioning a brighter light and a stronger glass to help him probe deeper and deeper into the marvels of nature's secret world.

Today, with the modern microscope, we can peer into dark corners we've never seen before. Often we can't explain what we see, but just looking is always a dramatic and thrilling experience.”

I have never lost my sense of zest for life.

"Every child is born blessed with a vivid imagination. But just as a muscle grows flabby with disuse, so the bright imagination of a child pales in later years if he ceases to exercise it."

May we never cease to imagine,

May we always dare to dream.

May we forever remember,

We are all children at heart.

I am going to start a new weekly posting here, called "Walt Wednesdays" Disney has been a huge part of my life, and so each week, I'd like to post a quote from Walt Disney himself, and take a little time to talk about it. I will always cite where I got the quote, and hope that it is a reliable one as I was unable to find an Disney archive of fun quotes (other than books that I do not own). As someone who works with children I feel that much can be learned from this man who has created so much joy for so many children.

"If you can dream it, you can do it." - Walt Disney

(from brainyquote )

How big can you dream. What do you see yourself doing in 5 years? What do you see in your head as something that you wish you could do? Dreams are often fun, usually we dare only to imagine what could be. What if we made our dreams come to life? What if we dared to make our dreams work? I'm not saying that we have a fairy godmother who will magically make us into a princess, but what if we took this as a motivation to literally MAKE and DO our dreams. What dreams do you have that you want to come true?
