History

Democracy

Majority rule works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.

Success

Buddhist Folktale

An old story speaks about a similar problem. A devoted meditator, after years concentrating on a particular mantra, had attained enough insight to begin teaching. The student's humility was far from perfect, but the teachers at the monastery were not worried.

Wait For The Brick

Submitted by Anil Raj on

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighbourhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and drove the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.

Courage

When darkness is only what you can see. When numbness is what you can feel. When reality is cruel than you can think. Hold On. Remember it is darkest before the dawn.

Keep Walking...
