Anger vs Peace

"For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Alternative perspective on competition

"There is competition, but it is used in a good way. It is positive to want to go first, provided the intention is to pave the way for others, make their path more easy, help them, or show the way. Competition is negative when we wish to defeat others, to bring them down in order to lift ourselves up."

~ His Holiness The Dalai Lama

The True Meaning Of Life

The True Meaning Of Life

"We are visitors on this planet
We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most.
During that period, we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives.
If you contribute to other people's happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life"

H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama

This post is dedicated to our new friend Paul Garden who gave me the t-shirt he was wearing! The phase above was from the t-shirt he offered me.
