Now is our time

So usually this blog is about the different things I get up too in Australia.  However, I wanted to post something slightly different today.  There is a new Levi's, Go Forth poster, I see at the train station every morning and I have been finding it very poignant and inspirational lately.

 

In case you can't make out what it says, here it is:

When all is said and done, 

have you done or said enough?

Have you just gone along for the ride,

or have you steered destiny's hot rod?

When you leave this world,

did you make it any better than it was when you arrived?

All you need is all you've got;

your wits and the clothes on your back.

Your epitaph is yours to earn,

your legacy is yours to make.

Go Forth.

They have also created a viral, which has another very inspirational and poignant poem, I am not a fan of the voice but it's still very good:

Go Forth 2011 Advert

In case you can't make out what this man is saying, again here it is:

Your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
Be on the watch.
There are ways out.
There is a light somewhere.
It may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
Be on the watch.
The gods will offer you chances.
Know them.
Take them.
You can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
And the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
Your life is your life.
Know it while you have it.
You are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

The poster is my favourite but I don't mind the viral either.  I don't believe that many people who read the poster or this post would not find it inspirational, or maybe I am just a sentimental loser.  Either way, I like it, and I like what it stands for.  The Jeans ain't half bad either.

Anyway, it's a bank holiday here today, so Greig and I are off to Manly on the ferry.  Enjoy your day people, and follow your dreams. Remember, your legacy is yours to make.
