~W. Clement Stone
This is one of my fav quote since high school. But the one I had was 'Shoot for the moon..Even if you miss, you'll be among the stars'. So I'm not sure but I think the title above is the original quote. Basically it means try your best! You'll get something as long as you try =)
I took the pictures of the moon one evening as i arrived home from work. It was around 6.30pm. Love the brilliant sky at the time as well.
:: Did you know that a blue moon is a name given to an irregularly timed full moon. Most years have twelve full moons which occur approximately monthly, but each calendar year contains those twelve full lunar cycles plus about eleven days to spare. The extra days accumulate , so that every two or three years there is an extra full moon (this happens every 2.72 years). The extra moon is called a "blue moon" (Wikipedia)
So now we understand why the saying "once in a blue moon" is used to describe a rare event. Ngee~

One night as Dick lay fast asleep,
Into his drowsy eyes
A great still light began to creep
From out the silent skies.
It was the lovely moon's, for when
He raised his dreamy head,
Her surge of silver filled the pane
And streamed across his bed.
So, for a while, each gazed at each-
Dick and the solemn moon-
Till, climbing slowly on her way,
She vanished, and was gone.
