Love Quotes: The Wisest, Wittiest . . . and Most Cynical Having reviewed many 100s of quotations on the wonders--and woes--of romantic love , here are some that I think represent the very best. At the same time that many of the quotes below celebrate the many joys of romantic--almost fairy-tale--love, they typically also demonstrate great awareness of its transience, its maddening let-downs and instability. The most cynical quotations, which (I admit) are well-exemplified here, may perhaps have been written by those who loved--and lost. But win or lose, who could deny that romantic love is life's most spectacular adventure? When we're transported from living in 3-D to the awe-inspiring expansiveness of 4-D , unquestionably it's in the consciousness-altering intensity of being in love. All in all, I think most people (at least on reflection) would agree that the tender--or tumultuous--experience of loving was worth it. It's fascinating to me how many of the following quotes have a paradoxical flavor to them. Love makes the time pass.
Western Philosophy Quotes About Trust “For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. Trees are sanctuaries. A tree says: A kernel is hidden in me, a spark, a thought, I am life from eternal life. A tree says: My strength is trust. When we are stricken and cannot bear our lives any longer, then a tree has something to say to us: Be still! A longing to wander tears my heart when I hear trees rustling in the wind at evening. So the tree rustles in the evening, when we stand uneasy before our own childish thoughts: Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours.
Why I Decided, 11 Years Ago, to Live Without Money July 17, 2012 | Like this article? Join our email list: Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email. For more than 11 years I’ve lived without money, government assistance, or conscious barter. I live primarily in a cave in a Utah canyon, when I’m not wandering. My decision to live without money was conceived on a backpacking trip to Alaska in 1998. I honed in on the berry section of the orchestra. The raspberry bush expected nothing in return and I took from it without a sense of debt. There in the woods I felt a therapeutic relief absent in commercial civilization. Thus began a hypothesis of why wild nature’s economy is balanced while the commercial economy is not and can never be. I saw then that commercial civilization can never succeed in coming into balance with the environment.

Smart business heads such as Rupert Murdoch paid over a half a billion dollars for direct ownership, betting on the the future continuing success of MySpace and its longevity. We now know that that business decision ended in tears, with MySpace being sold in 2011 for less than $40 million, as its user base continued to decline. Facebook is not taking the private sale route but is going public this year with a market valuation estimated at $100 billion. Google had attempted in the past to create a social media network as it knew that social networks were the future. It launched Google “Buzz” and Google “Wave”, both of which were dismal failures. Stickiness is a term that is used to describe the amount of time users spend on a platform engaged and using its features and functions. Time Spent on Facebook
16 Things I Wish They Had Taught Me in School I am 28 now. I don’t think about the past or regret things much these days. But sometimes I wish that I had known some of things I have learned over the last few years a bit earlier. Because some of these 16 things in this article a teacher probably spoke about in class. Some of it would probably not have stuck in my mind anyway. But I still think that taking a few hours from all those German language classes and use them for some personal development classes would have been a good idea. So here are 16 things I wish they had taught me in school (or I just would like to have known about earlier). 1. This is one of the best ways to make better use of your time.

And if you do that you will have more time and energy to spend on those things that really brings your value, happiness, fulfilment and so on. 2. 3. 4. 5.
