Friends, this week’s Words for Your Week comes from one of the most iconic pioneers in American history- Neil Armstong who passed away this Saturday at 82.
In 2005 Armstrong gave a commencement speech at USC, his alma mater and he had these wise wise words to give.
“You can lose your health to illness or accident. You can lose your wealth to all manner of unpredictable sources. What are not easily stolen from you without your cooperation are your principles and your values. They are your most important possessions and, if carefully selected and nurtured, will well serve you and your fellow man.” (source)
I am a little bit geeked with science and exploration and I just can not imagine the bravery of the first pioneers of space. I mean it is literally an adventure that is out of this world… the courage, ambition, brilliance, and trust it took to take that “giant step” is so immense to me.
Now friends, please enjoy some of the reasons I hearted the internet last week.
