- “A quiet reflective mind is a wholesome mind. It is an inbound mind. This kind of mind is not only capable of deep contemplation – it is also capable of intense action. The centre of a cyclone is very quiet. It is from this centre that the cyclone attains its power. A revolving fan is still at the tip. It is here that motion is intensified to the point of stillness. A mind that has learnt to slow itself down is indeed a capable mind. For this, our minds need to periodically withdraw from the world of sensations. Like a tortoise withdraws its limbs into its shell – a sane mind goes inwards in search of its quiet centre.” ― Debashis Chatterjee, The Other 99%/You Can Dare To Lead
- “You need to spend time crawling alone through shadows to truly appreciate what it is to stand in the sun.” ― Shaun Hick

- “When our hopes for performance are not completely met, realistic optimism involves accepting what cannot now be changed, rather than condemning or second-guessing ourselves. Focusing on the successful aspects of performance (even when the success is modest) promotes positive affect, reduces self-doubt, and helps to maintain motivation (e.g., McFarland & Ross, 1982)…. Nevertheless, realistic optimism does not include or imply expectations that things will improve on their own. Wishful thinking of this sort typically has no reliable supporting evidence. Instead, the opportunity-seeking component of realistic optimism motivates efforts to improve future performances on the basis of what has been learned from past performances.” ― Sandra L. Schneider

- Almost all Americans own a smartphone or a computer. Each device contains the library of Alexandria. The sum total of all world knowledge. You can learn anything. Why don’t you? Too busy tracking social status. Too enthralled by imagery your evolution can’t resist. @TheStoicEmperor
- I always get by best with my naivety, which is 20 percent deliberate. Albert Einstein
- “It does not matter where you go and what you study, what matters most is what you share with yourself and the world.” ― Santosh Kalwar
- “If ever I was running, it was towards you.” ― Jennifer Elisabeth
- The ideal school would teach health, wealth, and happiness. It‘d be free, self-paced, and available to all. It‘d show opposing ideas and students would self-verify truth. No grades, no tests, no diplomas – just learning. Actually, you’re already here. Careful who you follow. Naval Ravikant
- I never lose. I either win or learn. Nelson Mandela
- “You can’t selectively numb your anger, any more than you can turn off all lights in a room, and still expect to see the light.” ― Shannon L. Alder

- “Roots matter by not even one jot, and though there are lessons we can draw from them, we cannot let them determine us or even define us, just define and frame how it is we are to escape ourselves to remake ourselves. We are not prisoners of the past. We can all reinvent ourselves, build ourselves anew. We are a New Humanity, a Higher Humanity, the Bright Humanity of the future” ― Thomas Stark, The Stairway to Consciousness: The Birth of Self-Awareness from Unconscious Archetypes
- “Next time you try to do something and fail, and it really was partly in your control, be honest aboutwhy you failed–but also, what you can do better in the future. It’s easy to see that blamingcircumstance robs you of opportunities to learn.” ― Rohvannyn Shaw, Quests of the Avatar: Seeking Virtue in the modern world

- “Do not let yourself become lazy or content. Do not stop trying to improve yourself and others. Don’t be afraid to fail and don’t be afraid of new experiences; because the moment you stop growing and learning is the moment you start dying.” ― Zachariah Renfro
- “Just please understand that everyone is going through a rough time as well. Even if they are hiding behind money or a simple smile. We are all continuously stumbling as we go about our lives. If we had perfect lives we’d all be perfect people. Only thing we can learn to do is endure or we will not be happy and happiness is the closest thing to perfect.” ― Hyrum Yeakley
- “Pain is a pesky part of being human, I’ve learned it feels like a stab wound to the heart, something I wish we could all do without, in our lives here. Pain is a sudden hurt that can’t be escaped. But then I have also learned that because of pain, I can feel the beauty, tenderness, and freedom of healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then healing feels like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air! We may not have wings growing out of our backs, but healing is the closest thing that will give us that wind against our faces.” ― C. JoyBell C.
