The Real you
The real you
By BEN FEASEY
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us.
Henry Stanley Haskins
When I originally decided to start writing a piece for the YCL magazine
I had thoughts of writing grand, literary masterpieces that could and
would change the courses of people’s futures. However, it turns out that
as much as a love to write, writing a piece that can change worlds and
alter paths is much harder than I first thought.
It was then that I decided to look towards other peoples work to better
understand my own. I have always loved inspirational quotes and sayings, whether through the personal statements my friends have tattooed
on their bodies about how they want to live, or whether through a street
artist’s view point they have tagged on the underpass.
It was after looking at these other views I came across Henry Stanley
Haskins, a man who worked in the stock market of all places. He spent
a lot of his spare time writing thoughts, ideas and musings down with
no intention of showing anyone until, they were published by a friend
shortly before his death in the 1950’s.
