“I've been told that certain species of fish will grow according to the size of their environment. Put them in a tiny aquarium, and they remain small even at adulthood. Release them into a huge natural body of water, and they grow into their intended size. People are similar. If they live in a harsh and limiting environment, they stay small. But put them someplace that encourages growth, and they will expand to reach their potential.” PeopleIfsBodyMotivationalCertainGrowsGrowthWaterNaturalEnvironmentHugeSpeciesSizeFishesTinyReleaseAdulthoodHarshAquariumsBodies Of Water Author:John C.

“Grief is like the wake behind a boat. It starts out as a huge wave that follows close behind you and is big enough to swamp and drown you if you suddenly stop moving forward. But if you do keep moving, the big wake will eventually dissipate. And after a long time, the waters of your life get calm again, and that is when the memories of those who have left begin to shine as bright and as enduring as the stars above.” IfsLongEnoughBigsMovingLeftStarsWaterMemoriesGriefBehindsHugeLong TimeShiningEndureCalmWaveMoving ForwardBoatKeep MovingBehind YouSwamps Author:Jimmy Buffett
“Surfing is a huge passion of mine. I'm and addict to it in a sense. I think it is a good addiction. I spend about anywhere from two to eight hours a day in the water when I am home.

“The problem with water, though, is that the shortfalls don't show up until the very end. You can go on pumping unsustainably until the day you run out. Then all you have is the recharge flow, which comes from precipitation. This is not decades away, this is years away. We're already seeing huge shortages in China, where the Yellow River runs dry for part of each year. The Yellow River is the cradle of Chinese civilization. It first failed to reach the sea in 1972, and since 1985 it's run dry for part of each year. For 1997 it was dry for 226 days.” YearsFirstsEndsShowsProblemRunningWaterSeeingSeaHugeGoes OnCivilizationFlowRiversEnvironmentalChinaDecadesChineseDryYellowCradleShortage Author:Lester R. Brown
“Another agricultural trend of growing concern is the increased nutrient content of coastal waters resulting from fertilizer runoff in agricultural regions. Augmented by urban sewage discharge in some situations, this results in huge algal blooms, which, as they die and decay, deplete the oxygen content in the water, leading to the death of the fish.” DiesWaterResultsSituationGrowingHugeConcernEnvironmentalFishesRegionsTrendsPollutionDecayUrbanOxygenDischargeNutrientsFertilizerCoastalSewage Book:Vital Signs 1999-2000: The Environmental Trends That Are Shaping Our Future Source: Vital Signs 1999-2000: The Environmental Trends That Are Shaping Our Future
