I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it. That’s the mark of a true professional.
