Going Slowly

Be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing still. - Chinese Proverb


How fast you go says a lot about your personality.

Right Now

We think very little of time present; we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to say it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own. - Blaise Pascal


Plan for the future; learn from the past; live today accordingly.

Wasting Time

Waste no time talking about great souls and how they should be. Become one yourself! - Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

Cause and Effect

It is common error to infer that things which are consecutive in order of time have necessarily the relation of cause and effect. - Jacob Bigelow

Cause and effect are related by time but being related by time does not infer cause and effect.

Here and Now


Let us not look back in anger, or forward in fear, but around us in awareness. - James Thurber

Don't forget the past or disregard the future. What you do now will take care of both.

Last Day

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. - Steve Jobs


Try to retain as much control as you can over being able to do each day what you have planned.

Experience Value

Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely. - Auguste Rodin 


Its kind of like taking aspirin for a headache. You never know how bad it would have been without it.




p.s. If you are unfamiliar with Rodin then follow the link above. He is well worth learning about. The book "Naked Came I" is a good read; a biographical novel of his life.

Walking With The Days

And in today already walks tomorrow. - Samuel Taylor Coleridge


And the shadow of the past walks with you every day.
