"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his
work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body,
his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly
knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in
whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or
playing. To him he is always doing both."
- Zen Philosophy (found in "Head to Head", L. Thurrow)
"The longer I live, the more I realized the impact of attitude on
life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important
than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures,
than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more
important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break
a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice
every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot
change our past... we cannot change that fact that people act in a certain
way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on
the string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is
10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...
we are in charge of our attitudes."

a redeemed social conditon;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived."

"A related formula for success: When you focus your attention in this moment,
instead of moments that are over or yet to be, you'll maximize your productivity,
creativity, and ability to accomplish your goals. Too many future-oriented
or past-oriented thoughts cloud your vision and distract you from what
you are doing. The more present-moment oriented you become, the easier it
will be to stay on track, get focused, concentrate, and achieve your goals.
In short, an undistracted mind is able to make wise, appropriate decisions."
