Whenever you feel uncomfortable and don’t know what to do, find some place to look at the openness of the sky and experience the freshness, free of hope and fear, just completely open.  This open space permeates everything and is available to us every moment of our lives.

We live in a world where selfless sharing of knowledge is no longer a virtue.  Many people regard knowledge as a commodity to be packaged and sold. The more knowledge you give away, the more will come to you.  Be compassionate to others, what do you have to fear by being open?

The mind is originally empty, and when it remains empty, without grasping or rejecting it can respond to natural things without prejudice.  Your mind should be like a mirror reflecting everything, never refusing to show anything and not retaining anything.  The mind should be as open as this.

It is important not to get complacent about success.  Do not skip any stages in your progress, go slowly step by step as though hesitant.  It is important to remain mindful, conscientious, and consistent.  Only such calm steady progress overleaping nothing, leads you to your goals.

Quote: The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.  Steve Jobs
