I use to work as a Round Square charity promotion guy, and at schools giving out presentation I always used Gandhi's quote, "The best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others"- AKA, do lots of charity work.

"Get busy living, or get busy dying.

I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain.

I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope." - Shawshank redemption

..I don't know but I just love this quote :love:
