Ordinary thinking and ordinary effort are almost never enough to generate leadership.

The goal isn't to do work and hand it in just before it's due. The goal is to do the work as beautifully as you can, faster than anyone else, so you can do more work.

I come here because it is fun. I have fun when I come here. I do not come here because I feel that I have any great responsibility for your beings or welfare. Who am I to set myself against the innate wisdom of your own individual being, or to take upon my invisible shoulders the great privilege or joyful responsibility for your behavior and destiny?

As I have told you before, in a manner of speaking you are given the gifts of gods. Your beliefs become reality. What you believe is, and becomes real in your experience. There is no area in your life to which this does not apply.

In the next life you will be working with those attitudes that are now yours.

When you see the world as it is, but insist on making it more like it could be, you matter.

You do not hate anyone you are not capable of loving. Remember that.
