3 IDEAS FROM ME

I.

“Reputation is the echo of your actions.”


​II.

“Greed is wanting the benefits of community without contributing to it.”


III.

“Simple ways to have a peaceful moment:

  • Close your eyes and just breathe for two minutes.
  • Leave your phone in another room for an hour.
  • Watch a cloud form and then dissolve.
  • Stand in the sunshine and notice how it warms your skin.
  • Light a candle and watch the flame dance.”

2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS

Fantasy writer J.R.R. Tolkien on being overlooked:

Novelist Chuck Palahniuk on memory:

“It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.”
