My week in words

source:www.raintoday.com

This week has been about life as a journey and about connections.

The words that came floating my way (not so much from books, as from random places like ads on the tube, blogs, films etc) all seem to gravitate towards the journey of discovery, the discovery of oneself, the acceptance of who we are (even if that means admitting we are stupid!) and allowing this to be the basis of our character building along the way. The words that came my way this week were also about relationships and how best to use them to turn thoughts and ideas into reality.This week, there were also a lot of words about smiling!

Here are a few that I'd like to share.


Eckhart Tolle talk at Google (from You Tube)

'People complain when something has gone wrong. No, it's just life. It helps you evolve. It's like character building in a good movie.'


'Beyond Hills', film by Cristian Mungiu

'He who goes on a journey is not the same he who returns.'


Baird T Spalding, 'Life And Teaching Of The Masters Of The Far East' (vol 1)

'It is impossible to go and stay at the same time'

'Love makes the ideal become real'

 

Toby Beta - 'Master of Stupidity' (A funny little book I stumbled upon on Goodreads.com)

 'First rule of stupidity : Admit honestly that you're stupid enough to learn lessons of your own life.

Second rule of stupidity: Don't take anybody's bullshit about being smart and wise. Just try to be less in stupidity, step by step, gradually.

Third rule of stupidity: You will never learn anything good and pure by pretending to be a smart one. List down all your ignorance and stupidity, then make them as a start.'

"The mind becomes much more beautiful, when man could see his own weaknesses." 

"People with dimple have a divine role in this universe: smile!"

"A well-trained mind responded to symptoms. An ordinary mind reacted after it happened."

"Charisma is the fragrance of soul."

"Rookies tend to show off."

"Strong words resonate."

"Youngsters want to change world. Elders want to enjoy their works. The entrepreneur sells anything needed by both to win their desires."

"Not all good things come from good people."

'If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you'

 

Kabbalah Ad on the tube

'Relationships aren't about finding the right person, they're about being the right person'.

 

 

John DeVore,  thefrisky.com

 

'It's remarkable how love can sometimes rot and decompose into cruelty.'
 

 
My own words (as I was smiling to myself on the tube platform and noticed people smiling back at me):

'Smile to yourself, and smile upon the whole world.'



Keep smiling and stay inspired!
