You will not expect the turn this one takes.
For those who religiously observe the Valentine's week, Friday is 'Teddy Day'. One is expected to gift a stuffed bear, named after 26th United States President Theodore 'Teddy' Roosevelt, to their loved one.
But what about the singles? Be it by choice or for lack of options and attention from the rest of the world, what should the lone wolves do?
First of all, it's Friday. Make plans for the weekend, duh. And if that's not happening, pay tribute to Teddy Roosevelt. The man established national parks in the US, initiated programmes to preserve monuments in America, so that there will be no dearth of Instagram posts from Grand Canyon. He also began the construction of the Panama Canal, which resulted in shaping the future of world trade, politics and sizes of warships! He ended a war between Russia and Japan and won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1906. He ended a war. Hear that, Obama? He ended a fricking war!
Are you all inspired? Not yet? Here are 11 quotes from the man who refused to shoot a bear:
1. Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.
2. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
3. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
4. Believe you can and you're halfway there.
5. When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on.
6. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.
7. The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything.
8. To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society.
9. If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.
10. Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.
11. In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.
So here you are. Happy friggin' Teddy Day to one and all!
