Fortune favors the bold --- Pliny the Elder

Some call it luck but is it chance when you have the courage to act? If you want to succeed you must get out there. You must take risks.

Stop waiting for the perfect time. That time does not exist. This is a loser mindset. Discard it.

Go out and live your dreams. Do not be the person lying on their deathbed thinking about what could have and should have as life slips away.

In the library at the there is a pigSkin bound copy of The Natural History (Latin: Naturalis Historia) by - This volume is from the second edition, printed in 1472 (approx 1,400 years after it was compiled).

Advice includes -‘At any other time, also, if a woman strips herself naked while she is menstruating, and walks round a field of wheat, the caterpillars, worms, beetles, and other vermin, will fall from off the ears of corn.'
