Yikes!

A Zen poet once said, “If you want to find meaning, stop chasing after so many things.” I find this nearly impossible. As another perfect example to the research I’m doing on one of my many projects, this sustains my theory that our universe is a full circle of contradictions. Emerson once said that he who matches one profession takes one chance, and life is full of infinite chances. The finite vs the infinite. Yikes! May the research continue…

The fringe benefits of failure from JK Rowling. 

“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case, you fail by default.”

"Between the ages of twenty and forty we are engaged in the process of discovering who we are, which involves learning the difference between accidental limitations which it is our duty to outgrow and the necessary limitations of our nature beyond which we cannot trespass with impunity"

"A language is not just a body of vocabulary or set of grammatical rules. A language is a flash of the human spirit. It’s a vehicle for which the soul of each particular culture comes into the material world. Every language is an old growth forest of the mind, a watershed of thought, an ecosystem of spiritual possibilities."

— Wade Davis, National Geographic

Forbearance is a form of generosity

The “fundamental attribution error”:
A psychological phenomenon in which we tend to view other people’s actions as reflections of their characters and to overlook the power of situation to influence their actions, whereas with ourselves, we recognize the pressures of circumstance.

-Gretchen Rubin, The Happiness Project
