Ferb's speech from Phineas and Ferb
Today we search! We will search for him in the streets, we will search for him in the trenches, we will search for him in the alleys and the mini-malls and the cul-de-sacs of this fair land. We'll search for him in the multilevel car parks and municipal recreational facilities. And we few. We happy few. We small band of brothers - a-and girl from across the street. We will not cease 'til he is found!
"Waiting for my dreams to come true"
I keep hearing people say that once you become an adult, you realize that dreams are just dreams, and that little to nothing of them will come true; but I think that the problem here is that instead of doing anything to actually achieve those dreams, they are waiting for them to happen on their own! Buddy, it takes more than just wishing and waiting for your dreams to be reality. You CAN achieve, it just takes lots of effort and tons of determination.
Quotes from a non-existent novel~~
I usually do better," they heard her say. "It's just because this was practice and there was nothing really to encourage me to do better than someone else. That's my biggest motivation - fear and THEM... my teammates. To be better than is to be acceptably good, and they expect nothing less than an utterly perfect performance, else face their pity and 'kind' words. I would rather force myself far beyond capacity than to listen to their 'sympathy' and encouragement.
Me, myself, and I
- Predicting my future (I challenge you to predict yours)
I will finish college, but will struggle to find a job in zoology. I will eventually end up in a career as a professional cellist and play in a well-known symphony orchestra (at the back). I will stay afloat working side jobs in a mom-and-pop cafe and composing my own music. I will not have any children and will live alone except for a sheep dog that I take on hikes every other day. By the time I am 60 or 70, I will be diagnosed with a hoarding disorder and sent to live in an old people's home.
GO PRACTICE!
Always practice what you want to be great at. Practice does not make perfect, it makes progress, because perfection is impossible to achieve. So, even if you are in the midst of learning, if you are disheartened because there are so many professionals out there that do it bigger and better than you do, just know that one day many years from now, that person or professional will be dead, and it will be your turn to show people what greatness really is about. YOU will be that professional.

- Valentine?
If you are thinking of asking someone to be your valentine this year, stop thinking, go do it! Because, I mean what's the worst that can happen? They say no? It doesn't have to be some sort of "proposal," it can just be a simple card, handwritten and full of meaning. Just do it! (to quote Nike, please don't sue me) I believe in you! You got this!

- Feed
Thinking of it like this, I started to not want to say anything. I kept thinking of nice things I could say, like, "I'm glad you went out last night, because that's how I met you," or, "And I think you ARE a normal person," but they all seemed just swarm. So we just sat there, together, we didn't say anything. And it wasn't bad. I hoped she could see the smile in the light of my brain.
Hiking
People should hike more. Seriously. But I don't just mean go out and walk around the park, I mean pick a trail, pack your lunch and spend your Saturday out in nature. There's just something about the way that the sun beats down on you, baking you into a crisp while you sweat your way up some steep incline that's makes everything rewarding. Not to mention the views; all the plants, the animals, even the sky just being there encapsulates you in a world of peace and beauty. So, go! Go hike!

- Never felt so good
Everything's going right. The world on my shoulders is feeling light, and I make moves and not excuses. I did all that I said I would do. They call me an idiot, 'cus I don't know how to quit. ... and ten out of ten I would do it again. I would try to explain this, but my words don't do it right. It's like got some magic in my mind, and if I try I try to fight this spell it might wind up a curse. So I might as well enjoy today ( even though I never ever felt so good).

- I survived?
"I survived the Hurst fire" is something that I will say for years to come, even though I technically didn't "survive" in the sense that the fire actually came into the neighborhood. It was more like it was near, but they still evacuated us just to be on the safe side. And I don't want to be one of those people, because I know that the other fires were actually very dangerous and people's homes and cities were destroyed. But still. I survived the Hurst fire (technically).
the little voice in your head
- At what point is my inner critic right?
Sometimes I will be in the middle of practicing my instrument, whether it be in the orchestra or on my own, and that little voice in my head starts to blare, "What are you doing? There's only a few days left until the concert! How could you possibly sound so bad?" But the thing is, I know, and I've heard from so many people that you are your harshest critic... but still, I sit and I wonder, is it true that I am doing bad? I know it's OK to make mistakes, but at what point am I really doing bad?
