7. This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don’t like something, change it. If you don’t like your job, quit. If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop. They will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing. Life is simple. When you eat, appreciate. Every last bite. Open your mind, arms and heart to new things and people. We are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often, getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities come only once, seize them. Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating. Life is short. Live your dream and share your passion.

Gerald Holtom
This forked symbol was designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom, a professional designer and a World War I conscientious objector. The design was a combination of letters of the flag semaphore alphabet for “N” and “D”, standing for nuclear disarmament. Now, the logo is perhaps more known as a general-purpose peace symbol.
