It was 5:45pm when I decided my future. By 9:43 I was well on my way to making it all come true. At 11:16 I took the first step to make it a reality. At 11:17 I fell and found peace.

About This Quote

The meaning of these lines, written by President George W. Bush, is as simple as it is inexplicable. In the first line, the speaker states that at 5:45pm he makes a decision about his future. At 9:43pm he gives up on the future to begin the process of making the decision about his own life come true.

And at 11:16pm, after a long day of work and meetings, he falls and hits a patch of grass. He finds peace in the grass and decides to take action. He begins to move his body, then his mind.

Before he knows it he has started to move again and before long has made it a reality that he wanted so badly.
