When you give a shilling to a beggar
- do you realize that you are giving it to yourself?

When you help a lame dog over a stile
- do you realize that you yourself are being helped?

When you kick a man when he is down
- do you realize that you are kicking yourself?

Give him another kick – if you deserve it!

simply wait

“You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.”

Franz Kafka

We are anxious to improve our circumstances, but we are unwilling to improve ourselves; we therefore remain bound.

if someone takes time to write you, follow up with you and politely ask for your time…take 25 seconds to acknowledge them as a fellow human being by simply hitting “Reply”.

it takes less time than you think and it matters a whole lot more than you think.

you don’t have to give them your time – but don’t ignore your emails.

when you ignore emails, you ignore human beings.

do you like being ignored?

and don’t tell me you don’t have 25 seconds to reply.

i’ve received “Reply’s” from people at the top of their field who are probably busier than you.

they’ve developed a habit of promptly dealing with every email in the Inbox, even if it’s a:

“thanks for your note. unfortunately, I don’t have any time to spare right now but try me next month. take care”

a + b = c

reading Daniel Amen’s “How to Make a Good Brain Great” – here’s a common sense equation that most of us forget about when going through our day:

a = event

b = our perception

c = our response

it’s not events that determine our fate.

when external events happen, they are nothing but an invitation for us to pause, reflect, then happen back.

it’s how we perceive what happens and how we respond to it that determines our fate.

unreasonable man

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

one of my favourite tunes – almost a year after hearing it for the first time:

and here’s the remix:

vain phantoms

“I began to understand that the promises of the world are for the most part vain phantoms, and that to have faith in oneself and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.”

He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal chord would fully suffice.
