- Charles F. Kettering
About this Quote
This quote by Charles F. Kettering encourages us to accept change and progress. It recommends that each time we progress in time, we open ourselves as much as new possibilities and chances. By detaching a leaf from a calendar, we are symbolically letting go of the past and welcoming the future. This quote encourages us to be available to originalities and to benefit from the chances that include each brand-new day. It advises us that development is possible and that we must strive to take advantage of each day. By welcoming modification and progress, we can develop a much better future for ourselves and for those around us.
