memorize Dylan Thomas' "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night"
DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT 4 years ago

The following is the text of Mr. Thomas’ poem. Enjoy.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.



Make every second count!
Time, our most valuble resource 4 years ago

Time is so easily lost. It is the one (universal) resource we are all provided with in identical amounts, and yet so few people seem to manage their time well our use the time they have to do them and others the most good. I know I am personally guilty of wasting time, procrastinating, etc. and if I am to make a positive impact in the world and leave a lasting legacy for my family that I need to make each second count.
