You need courage to be creative. You need the courage to see things differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to take a different approach, courage to stand alone, if you have to, courage to choose activity over inactivity.

It's okay to send flowers, but don't let the flowers do all the talking. Flowers have a limited vocabulary. About the best flowers can say is that you remembered. But your words tell the rest.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Flowers can symbolize affection, but communication is essential for deeper connections.

The flowers may express a basic sentiment of remembrance, but true connections are built through thoughtful conversation and expression of feelings, making clear that non-verbal gestures should not replace meaningful dialogue.
