Quote of the Day...

One of the most important qualities of successful people is the belief that they can achieve anything so long as they put their minds to it.

So with that in mind, here's a really cool quote for all of you who are NOT at all afraid to achieve the impossible! :)

"Inside my mind are endless possibilities. Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." ~Lewis Carroll

Who is Lewis Carroll?

Fun fact of the day:

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (January 27, 1832 – January 14, 1898), better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll, was a British author, photographer, mathematician, logician, and an Anglican clergyman.

He's most famous for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, the comic poem The Hunting of the Snark, and the greatest nonsense nonsense poem ever written in English...Jabberwocky.

And for this week's comic relief, here's the greatest nonsense poem ever...

Jabberwocky
by Lewis Carroll

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

The Jabberwock, as illustrated by John Tenniel
