We want to infuse our day with good habits so that we can turn seemingly mundane situations into a ceremony of goodness.

Your regular teachers will get mad at you. If you keep asking something again and again, they will get tired of saying the same thing. A book will not do that. A book always will be there for you. In whatever you want, the book will be there.

This is bravery: using the challenge of daily life to sharpen our mind and open our heart.

When we have gone beyond the boundaries of hope and fear, we are able to work with whatever comes our way.

When we appreciate something, that means we have allowed ourselves to relax and take it in.
