On Life
- k.a. -“I’ve got a thing for the type of people who are undeniably themselves. The ones with messy hair and even messier souls. The kind of people who wear their hearts on their chest and have passion in their tears. i’ve got a thing for those people who laugh at their own jokes and rejoice in their own success. it’s the people who fight for what they believe in and never let their spirit settle that are the ones for me. I’m obsessed with all the people who have the strength to remain soft and let their fire burn hard. These are the type of people I’m in love with, these are the type of people I want in my life, these are my people.’

On Life
- Anon -“Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life.

- Hermann Hesse -“When someone is searching,” said Siddhartha, “then it might easily happen that the only thing his eyes still see in that what he searches for, that he is unable to find anything, to let anything enter his mind, because he always thinks of nothing but the object of his search, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed by the goal. Searching means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal. You, oh venerable one, are perhaps indeed a searcher, because, striving for your goal, there are many things you don’t see, which are directly in front of your eyes.”
On Life

On Work & Career
- James Altuche -I don’t mean run to a goal or a destination. There are no goals and you realize this around the age of thirty or so. I mean just ‘run’. You build up your blood vessels. More oxygen gets to the brain. You get smarter. Life is better. And you’ll see more in life than the people who are walking. Who take their time failing. Who take their time waiting for the right moment…there’s never a right moment. So just run to get there.”
On Life

- Rabindranath Tagore -“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.”
