12 12 12

12th of the 12th of the 12th. To many, today is a significant date. The beginning of the end, a time for renewal, of spiritual awakening. To some, just another date.


At Osca, this day marks a very exciting moment, for we have received the first delivery of an Ironing table ordered directly from the manufacturer in England. No longer dependent on the available choice and stock in Melbourne, finding the right table for our future Franchisees and confirming supply is a significant step as another component of the Osca Ironing Franchise Development is put in place.

To celebrate the day, 12 inspirational quotes from 12 inspirational people.

Steve Jobs

Life is brief and then you die you know?
 
And we've all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damned good. It better be worth it."

Nicholas Sparks
an American writer and novelist - Author of The Notebook

“We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn.
It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence.
It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy.
It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other
can sit without speaking.
This is the great paradox.”
 
 
Rick Riordan
an American author best known for writing the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series
 
“Humans see what they want to see.”

That is how important you are!”
