“To die, - To sleep, - To sleep!
Perchance to dream: - ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;”
― Hamlet

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”

“Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn't have the courage to say "yes" to life?”

Y'all, his name ain't Martin King. It's Martin Luther King. I'm not Daniel Ordaz. If that person exists, it ain't me. My name is Daniel García, but I use my mother's maiden name (Ordaz) after my father's surname), in the Hispanic tradition, to honor her. Mr. Ordaz was my maternal grandfather. Please honor my name and stop listing me as Daniel Ordaz. It's 2023. Daniel García Ordaz.
Gracias.
