It gives us memories, fine wine, and wrinkles.
But the only thing worse than getting old is not getting old.
So here's to time, dear reader, yours and mine.
May you have many more wrinkles, a lot of fine wine,
and memories to last two lifetimes.”
Iceberg Slim, Airtight Willie & Me

Dan Ariely
“We fail to realize that some things really are disappearing doors, and need our immediate attention. We may work more hours at our jobs, for instance, without realizing that the childhood of our sons and daughters is slipping away. Sometimes these doors close too slowly for us to see them vanishing. One of my friends told me, for instance, that the single best year of his marriage was when he was living in New York, his wife was living in Boston, and they met only on weekends. Before they had this arrangement - when they lived together in Boston - they would spend their weekends catching up on work rather than enjoying each other. But once the arrangement changed, and they knew that they had only the weekends together, their shared time became limited and had a clear end (the time of the return train).”
Dan Ariely, Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions

“You need to believe more deeply than anyone else. You build a cult by showing everyone that you are willing to go further than all of them to see out your vision. You can't ask everyone else to swallow the Kool-Aid if you're not going to take the first gulp.”
David Chang, Eat a Peach

“A Poet wrote this poem for me in 2017. Whenever I read this, I feel happy that I could touch someone deeply!



"It has not been long since he came to my life
He came like a soft wind
He made me feel like a king
He showed me who i am
He made me believe i can
No not just a simple man
A man who is so deep
Emotions feelings are in a heap
His mighty head high to keep
Though strong and hard
His heart is made of gold
Love kindness are decorated in folds
He holds the capacity of changing others
Making all the sisters and brothers
Feel that they are worthy
His words are so simple yet strong
Commanding yet soft
High pitched yet so serene
He smiles and makes the world smile
He feels the unfelt
He touches the untouched
He sees the unseen
He takes care of all without showing
He shows without pretending
His eyes sparkel with light
He is fearless no fright
He lightens up the room when he enters
And when he speaks is like a melodious symphony
That touch you deep down
He will inspire you
He will teach you
He will lend u a hand
And make u stand
He will be the eye for you to see
Thorough ur own heart
He never hopes bad for others
Neither does he bothers
About the negetivies
He is the positive man
The mighty happy soul
And if i talk about his soul
It the most beautiful soul
How can anyone feel so much?
And he has the capability of being himself
No matter what
He takes good care of others
And makes sure he is fit too
He wants smile in evryones faces
And he will make you smile
You meet him once
And here you go!
You have a changed life
Do you kno who the magic man is ?
He is the passionate writer ”
Poem 9670 for Avijeet Das

Abhijit Naskar
“Whatever you do, do it with your whole being. Become one with that act. Forget thirst, hunger, sleep, sex, and give your whole existence to one idea - an idea to which you can boldly and unhesitantly point and say "this idea is me". You and your idea must become one, for that idea to become a reality.”
Abhijit Naskar, Mad About Humans: World Maker's Almanac

Donna Goddard
“To be happy, we must fulfil our individual innate potential. Otherwise, we will feel frustrated at some level. In fulfilling ourselves, we will naturally contribute something of worth to the world. Selfish ambition, whether blatant or secret, destroys many a friendship and many a career. Selfish ambition cannot help but see others as competition. If someone else is succeeding, we think that means that we are not or perhaps not as well as them. Dedication to the good of all, including ourselves, takes the ill-will out of competitive thinking and makes the way to success smoother than we could otherwise orchestrate. We will have God/good on our team.”
Donna Goddard, Dance: A Spiritual Affair

“Develop and nurture your passion in life.
Play real to win, not lose. Take fearless actions.
Cleanse yourself of everything, not serve you!
Say “Hell Yes,” and avoid “Hell No!”
Joseph S. Spence Sr.

“Fully embodied yourself in positive actions.
Sit in the front row and not back.
See, hear, listen, grow from getting the most out of your experience.
Give your time great taste, don’t let your time go to waste!”
Joseph S. Spence Sr.

Donna Goddard
“The motive of the ego is always self-centred. The love of less-developed teachers is not as unselfish as it may, sometimes, seem. Teachers can love our dedication to them rather than our dedication to the Truth. We dedicate ourselves to Truth, not to a material personality. We learn to lean on the sustaining Infinite and, in this way, we trust not human persons but we trust the goodness of the Divine presence. A true teacher will encourage this. The spirit of the teacher is everything. Words are cheap. Many teachers who have large followings are internally misaligned.”
Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

Max Moreno
“When you truly dedicate yourself to your goals, there is no way not to achieve them.”
Max Moreno

“Some will do part time job; some will do their work in part time.”
