BUDDHA ON THE SECRET OF EXISTENCE AND ON OUR THOUGHTS

THE SECRET OF EXISTENCE...

~ The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.

ON OUR THOUGHTS...

~ All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.

ON BEING HUMAN...

~ Man is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion, sacrifice, and endurance.

ON LIFE...

~ But I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it. So how do you be good to life? You live it.

"STYLE IS LIKE A MUSCLE YOU HAVE TO EXERCISE IT REGULARLY OR YOU'LL LOSE IT"

~ Working from home or going on maternity leave is no excuse to let go of your look. The more you schlep around in drawstring pants and tees, the less you're going to be able to pull yourself together when necessary. Likewise the more you walk out of the house feeling like a cool million bucks, the more you are going to want to get out and make an impression. Think about dressing up, even for days spent around the house.

DANZEL WASHINGTON ON GOD AND PRAYER, DRINKING, LUCK AND ENEMY

ON GOD AND PRAYER...

ON LUCK...

~ Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.

ON ENEMY...

~ If you have an enemy, then learn and know your enemy, don't just be mad at him or her.
