The complete IDIOT’S guide to…

Ce mai e si cu pagina asta? Foarte simplu… Exista o serie de carti despre dezvoltarea personala numite in acest fel (evident fiecare dintre ele fiind “guide to” altceva). Si cum stateam in pat acum vreo 10 minute transcriind unul din citatele mentionate acolo m-am gandit ca as putea sa le transcriu chiar aici : pe blog.

Asa ca aici vor aparea cele care, mie personal, mi se par mai reprezentative sau, pur si simplu mai dragute.

Tot de aici mi se trage si noul motto pe care il vedeti Label things, not people, de dragul caruia am renuntat chiar la “pot? pot? pot?” -ul care ar implini un an zilele astea.

Acestea fiind zise cred ca pot incepe:

“Our attitude toward the world around us depends upon what we are ourselves. IF we are selfish, we will be suspicious of others. IF we are generous in nature, we will be likely to be more trustful. IF we are inclined to be fair, we won’t feel that we are being cheated. In a sense, looking at the people around you is like looking in the mirror. You see a reflection of yourself. “

“Your true friends are those with whom you can meet or speak even after a long absence and still have a magic connection, closing the time and distance. You start where you left off just as if moons and miles never separated the two of you.”

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk expressing one’s true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair.
To try all is to risk failure.
But risk is a must because the biggest mistake is to risk nothing.
The human being who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.

“The measure of an individual’s real character is what that person does when he or she knows that no one else will find out.”

“The smile on your face is the light in the window that tells people you are at home.” 

“A ship in the harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are for.” 

“The only real mistake is one from which we learn nothing.”
