“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”, said Alice
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.
“I don’t much care where,” said Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
Heres one to always remeber:
No matter where you go, There you are!

Stratovarus-Destiny
The times are changing so fast
I wonder how long it lasts
The clock is ticking, time is running out
The hatred fills this Earth
And for what it’s worth
We’re in the end before we know
Throughout the years I have struggled to find
The answer that I never knew
It strucked me like a million lightnings
And here I am telling to you
Every second of day it is coming your way
Future unknown is here to stay
Got to open your mind or you will be led to astray
There’s a time to live
There’s a time to die
But no one can escape the destiny
Look all these things we’ve done
Under the burning sun
Is this the way to carry on?
So take a look at yourself
And tell me what do you see
A wolf in clothes of the lamb?
Throughout the years I have struggled to find
The answer that I never knew
It strucked me like a million lightnings
And here I am telling to you
Every second of day it is coming your way
Future unknown is here to stay
Got to open your mind or you will be led to astray
There’s a time to live
There’s a time to die
But no one can escape the destiny
Let your spirit free
Through window of your mind
Unchain your soul from hate
All you need is faith
I control my life
I am the one
You control your life
But don’t forget your destiny …
It’s time to say goodbye
I know it will make you cry
You make your destiny
I know you’ll find the way
And outside sun is bright
The things will be alright
I will be back one day to you
So please wait for me

Iron Maiden-The clairvoyant
Feel the sweat break on my brow
Is it me or is it shadows that are
Dancing on the walls
Is this a dream or is it now
Is this a vision or normality I see
Before my eyes
I wonder why I wonder how
That it seems the powers getting stronger
Every day
I feel a strength an inner fire
But I’m scared I won’t be able to control it anymore
There’s a time to live and a time to die
When it’s time to meet the maker
There’s a time to live but isn’t it strange
That as soon as you’re born you’re dying
Just by looking through your eyes
He could see the future penetrating right
In through your mind
See the truth and see your lies
But for all his power couldn’t foresee his own demise
There’s a time to live and a time to die
When it’s time to meet the maker
There’s a time to live but isn’t it strange
That as soon as you’re born you’re dying…
… and reborn again?
– written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s –

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.[/i]
