I like to believe that your name plays a large role in your life; it is your brand. Not a lot of people know that I was named after the great Thomas Edison. Thank God my parents are Asian and my name turned out to be Addison. I really can't picture my life as an Edison. Fittingly, one of my all-time favourite quotes is from Edison:
"Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure."
This quote speaks to me because I find myself never truly satisfied, but I have learned that this is not necessarily a bad thing. It just means I am constantly trying to improve and progress as a person. On a side note, I always get teased by a particular friend that I have a girl's name, but the meaning behind Addison is that he is the SON of Adam. Although I will admit that it is becoming a more common unisex name.
