Today’s Greatitude
Carpe Diem! From Horace, the phrase often translated as “Seize the day, put very little trust in tomorrow. The future is unforeseen and one should not leave to chance future happenings, but rather do all you can today to make your own future better.
In modern English, the expression “YOLO“, meaning “you only live once”, expresses a similar sentiment.
In the film Dead Poets Society, the English teacher John Keating, played by Robin Williams, famously says: “Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.”
Our friends at Monkey Mountain Toys and Games recently reminded of this expression and how impactful a statement it is. Add a game, puzzle, or a trip to this lively store and shop local! It has amazing energy and you’ll be glad you did!
Carpe Diem indeed!
