On this journey ...
Have an open mind
Question everything
Learn, unlearn and relearn
Analyse, review andunderstand
Do not close your mind to
any idea
Learn avidly.
Question repeatedly
what you have learned.
Analyze it carefully.
Then put what you
have learned into
practice intelligently- Confucius

Success
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

We all live with the objective of being happy;
our lives are all different and yet the same Anne Frank
[People] may be said to resemble not thebricks of which a house is built, but the pieces
of a picture puzzle, each differing in shape,
but matching the rest, and thus bringing outthe picture.
Felix Adler
