IN A BLAZE OF GLORY

A light bulb shines so bright, just before it burns out completely, doesn’t it?  Almost like, ensuring it uses up all its energy to create value in a blaze of glory. A blaze of glory implies a state of strength or high accolade surrounding a person or thing.

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up, it knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.” African proverb. 
It is difficult to establish the original author of this quote, (please do share in the comment section if you know) however, it is an interesting one. 

Like the lion and the gazelle, we have a chance to excel and maybe acquire skills every day. Thankfully, we each can blaze a path of glory with our unique strengths and abilities.

Recently, Duolingo shared an assessment of my language learning abilities. The result shows that I had spent 14,591 minutes, completed 1,215 lessons and learned 1,374 words which created 4,535 sentences while using the app. It feels good to know what one can achieve with time spent learning.

Oh, if you love words and the use of language like I do, then maybe click to use the app. They are not sponsoring this post by the way. I just thought to share my experience.

And oh this here is such a happy song. Wouldn’t you like to hear it played on some graduation? I would,

Or maybe just read about a generation of smarts in NOTE TO SELF: WHAT DOES DESTINY HAVE TO DO WITH IT?
