Your Life Is An Occasion

“Your life is an occasion.  Rise to it.”

Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium

I have found that one of the most difficult things to get a student to do is to live their life.  It reminds me of a statement by Tolstoy;

“I was like a man in a boat who, when carried along by wind and waves should reply to what for him is the chief and only question: should I steer?”
