Don’t prove anything, unless you know it is true

This quote, by Steven Piantadosi, is certainly reflected in the life of Houdini, world's greatest escapologist, who died on Halloween, October 31, 1927.

The best way to find meaning at work? Don’t look for it !

We start to demand that our work has a larger meaning.
This almost always ends badly. Meaning is a bit like happiness - the more you go out looking for it, the less you find -.

Or as Lucy Kellaway states:

The best way to find meaning at work?
Don’t look for it”

As soon as you give it all up, you can have it all"

This quote by Ram Dass, says it all.
Life is a gift. Learn to recognize and accept this gift.

A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for

Grace Hopper, woman, computer scientist and United States Navy officer.

If it's not okay,it's not the end!

Everything will be okay in the end
If it's not okay,it's not the end!

Or to put it differently:
“If everything is coming your way, then you're in the wrong lane.”

What the mind can believe, the body can achieve

Always believe in a new world. Whether you agree or disagree with Obama, there's much you can learn from him, even for CEOs!

To keep your balance You must keep moving

There's so much you can learn from a bike....

On the long term the body reflects the mind, on the short term it's the other way around.
Like in the next quote:

When running up a hill, it is all right to give up as many times as you wish -- as long as your feet keep moving..

Your mind is like a parachute. It only works if it is open.

Never feel dissapointed so that you'll never have to say: "I used to have an open mind.."

Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there the first time you need him, chances are you won't be needing him again.

The world is like a mirror..Smile and your friends smile back.

Even when you're confronted with unfriendly dominant behavior....
Stay friendly, Smile from the heart and you'll succeed.

Break the ice, with love...

Sometimes, `the rules` don't apply anymore. You've done everything you possibly can.
You're out of creative ideas, out of advices and thoughts about what´s good, best, worst, fun or whatever. Yet it's time to act.
Break the ice.... But act with love.

When your outlook is best, there's nowhere to go

If you've reached your goals, think you've seen everything and have nothing to learn. If you oversee everything, are in full control. If you have a 100% clear perspective.....
Where can you go?

I'm nobody. Nobody is perfect. Therefore I'm perfect.

We're all 'perfect' by nature.
Learn to 'want what you get', by failing in 'getting what you want'.
