We should devote ourselves to being self-sufficient and must not depend upon the external ratings by others for our happiness.

I have the absolute confidence not to be number two, but then I have enough sense to realize that there can be no number one.

Zen is not “attained” by mirror-wiping mediation, but by “self-forgetfulness in the existential 'present' of life here and now.” We do not “come”, we “are.” Don't strive to become, but be.

I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies.

Remember, Life is a journey, not a destination.

To develop the creative attitude, analyze and focus on the wanted SOLUTION; seek out and fill your mind with the FACTS; write down ideas, both sensible and seemingly wild; let the facts and ideas simmer in your mind; evaluate, recheck, settle on the creative ideas.

The happiness that is derived from excitement is like a brilliant fire- soon it will go out.
