Thoughts are reentering my clogged mind. Going over papers and notes from classes and what others have told me have begun to make a huge list and feel that it is just to pass them on those those of you who read my blog. People might get tired of the same old complaints but hey that's life. Thoughts can be insightful plus more interesting in what people have to say.
On a lighter side on Monday in my final oral english class one very bright young lady told a boy,"if you want to date me, go kiss a skunk first." Kind of funny since this animal does not exist here in China. Smart gal so enjoy todays thoughts.
"First you are young; then you are middle aged; then you are old; then you are wonderful."
"Live your life and live your age."
"Middle age is when you meet so many people that every new person you meet reminds you of someone else."
"Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young."
"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."
"The first duty of a human being is to assume the right functional relationship to society--more briefly, to find your real job, and do it."
"What cannot be achieved in one lifetime will happen when one lifetime is joined to another."
"There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life; without community."
"The colossal misunderstanding of our time is the assumption that insight will work with people who are unmotivated to change. Communication does not dependon syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is being heard. people can only hear you when they are moving toward you, and they are not likely to when your words are pursuing them. Even the choices words lose their power when they are used to overpower. Attitudes are the real figures of speech."
"When people keep telling you that you can't do a thing, you kind of like to try it."
"If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life? It is the other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony. We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth."
"It is surprising what a man can do when he has to, and how little most men will do when they don't have to."
"One of the basic causes for all the trouble in the world today is that people talk too much and think too little. They act impulsively without thinking I alwys try to think before I talk."
"All who affirm the use of violence admit it is only a means to achieve justice and peace. But peace and justice are nonviolence the final end of history. Those who abandon nonviolence by passing history, freezing history, betraying history."
Have a great day and peace be with you.
