Rebirth

Hello,

it has been a while since I wrote on my blog, but am more settled now and I think it is about time I began to write down my thoughts. I will write daily on issues that bring out the passion in me. It will keep me keep track of the things that I think are important.

I start on the 15th day of November 2010.

Our fear

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
(Authored and published by Marianne Williamson)

you think!

Everyday I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If am not there, I go to work.. Robert Orben

When you go to work, if your name is on the building, you're rich. If your name is on your desk, you're middle class. And if your name is on your shirt, you're poor.. Rich Hall

Success means having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money.... Johnny Cash

The word good has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of 500 yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man... G.K.
Chestertone

Et cetera - the expression that makes people think you know more than you do....Herbert Prochnow

Cynicism is merely the art of seeing things the way they are instead of the way they ought to be... Oscar Wilde

Blessed is the man who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.. Alexander Pope

Both the optimist and pessimist contribute to society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute... George Bernard Shaw

We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?....Jean Cocteau

quotes

Never stop because you are afraid- you are never so likely to be wrong. Never keep a line of retreat: it is a wretched invention. The difficult is what takes a little time; the impossible is what takes a little longer
- Fridtjof Nansen

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you, for life goes not backwards nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth- Khalil Gibran

When the people contend for their liberty, they seldom get anything by their victory but new masters
- George Savile

Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful
- Samuel Johnson

That all who are happy are equally happy, is not true. A peasant and a philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not equally happy. Happiness consists in the multiplicity of consciousness
- Samuel Johnson

A woman is as old as she looks before breakfast - Ed Howe

If you want to know how old a woman is, ask her sister-in-law -Ed Howe

An optimist is someone who fills in his crossword puzzle in ink - Clement Shorter

Dont worry about temptation, as you grow older it starts avoiding you -Farmers almanac

Simon says and other quotes

'Jenny that was extraordinary. Unfortunately, extraordinarily bad'

'You have just invented a new form of torture'

'If you would have been singing like this 2,000 years ago, people would have stoned you'

- Simon Cowell

'Even more exasperating than the guy who thinks he knows it all is the one who really does'
- Al Bernstein

Artificial intelligence is no match for human stupidity - red Green

A great many people think they are thinking, when they are actually rearranging their prejudices- William James

Disorder

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.
