I keep a small notebook by my side and do my best to keep a log of my day-to-day activities. This is the result.

A Few Words to Live By

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching, and live like its heaven on earth.
- Mark Twain (?)

or another version -
Dance as if no one were watching,
Sing as if no one were listening,
and live every day as if it were your last

You can’t compare yourself

Monday, February 8, 2010

You can’t compare yourself with others: if Nature has made you a bat you shouldn’t try to be an ostrich. You consider yourself odd at times, you accuse yourself of taking a road different from most people. You have to unlearn that. Gaze into the fire, into the clouds, and as soon as the inner voices begin to speak, surrender to them, don’t ask first whether it’s permitted or would please your teachers or father, or some god. You will ruin yourself if you do that.
- Herman Hesse (from Demian)
