Whenyou plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. Youlook for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water,or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with ourfriends or our family,

Peoplewho are too concerned with how well they are doing will be less successfuland feel less competent than those who focus on the task itself... Somepsychologists call it a conflict between egoorientation,or between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation…

Whenanger comes, wisdom goes.

Everyone speaks well of his heart, but no one dares to say it of his dead.

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be won, through understanding. Our longingfor understandingis Eternal.

Nostrength within, no respect without.

Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerfuland the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.

We mustbe part of the general staff at the inception, rather than the ambulancedrivers at the bitter end.

To startblindly with a statement is a sign of arrogance and narrow-mindedness, andwill lead to conflict. To start blindly with a question is a sign ofuncertainty and honesty, and will lead to wisdom.

Don'tstand by the water and long for fish; go home and weave a net.

Experience keeps a dear school, but tools will learn in no other.

To exaggrerate is to weaken.
