… And Quit Worrying About What Other People Are Thinking Of You ?
The 18/40/60 Rule is a handy one to remember :
When you are 18, you worry about what everybody is thinking of you.
When you are 40, you don’t give a darn what anybody thinks of you.
When you are 60, you realise that nobody’s been thinking about you at all.

Expand your mind
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007
There is no way other parts of the world can be opened up for you; there is no way that you can release new things out of you, if you do not allow yourself to expand beyond where it is you are right now.
Because as you continue to do the same old things over and over again, you go through the same patterns, you have the same thinking process that you come up with the same old ideas.
– Stephen Pierce, successful entrepreneur and internet marketer

Undaunted curiosity
Sunday, January 7th, 2007
“We don’t know what we’ll find when we get there, but we’ll be sure to let you know when we get back.”
— Lewis and Clark
To me, it not only speaks of undaunted curiosity, but also of having the guts to seek out the unknown. The future is never certain, and often we have incomplete information before setting out on something new. Its is with guts and the childish nature of wanting to find out what’s out there, that sets apart the explorer and the unwilling traveller who simply has to move along with the flow of life.

The best students are those who never quite believe their professors. However, one ought not to reject the data merely because one does not like what the data implies.

Freedom and Responsibility
Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007
Freedom is only part of the story and half the truth … That is why I recommend that the Statute of Liberty on the East Coast be supplanted by a Statute of Responsibility on the West Coast.
– Viktor E. Frankl in “Man’s Search for Meaning”
