Surely, education has no meaning unless it helps you to understand the vast expanse of life with all its subtleties, with its extraordinary beauty, its joys and its sorrows.

You may earn degrees, you may have a series of letters after your name and land a very good job, but then what?

What is the point of it all if in the process, your mind becomes dull, weary, and stupid?

Krishnamurti

Expect Nothing

And you will not be disapponted

Why do I judge my day by how much I have "accomplished"? Hugh Prather

Life

It may as well be

A dance of unrehearsed steps

A random collection of movements

Some planned

Most unplanned

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
- St. Francis of Assisi

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do. - Benjamin Franklin

Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness. - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Don't Complain! If it's important enough to complain about, it is important enough to take action on. Either accept it, or change it. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. - Steve Jobs
