Carpe Diem! Seize the Day

A long time ago I watched a film about an English teacher who awoke his students by teaching them a phrase, Carpe Diem, meaning Seize the Day! The film was Dead Poets Society (1989) and it was about young people making a choice about how they would spend their life. I would have been in my early to mid teens, and this phrase really stuck with me. I do think that it is an impressionable age, and inspiration in your teens is not in itself extraordinary. What is significant is that every time I say it to myself, it leads me to doing something brave. My choice is to Seize the Day! What is yours?
