If you have built castles in the air,
your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be.
Now put the foundations under them.

Not particularly. Other than the typical 'making my life one to be proud of.' Well, I guess that's a big one. :)

It's a quote I've always liked because I feel that one of my strengths is being able to have both the dreams and the foundations. But actually I was reminded of it recently because of my Monday class. Among other things, we were thinking about what aspects of our parents have been passed on to us. For me I thought of my mom and her belief that you should always go for your dreams, and how my dad was Mr. Practical. On top of that, I did not appreciate or understand what my dad gave me until later.

And so I find that in my life, the castles do come first, and then the foundations.
