SCRAPS SENT TO FRIENDS

Wisdom is meaningless unless you experience its meaning.

A man must have a certain amount of wise- ignorance to get anywhere.

The realization that there are other points of view is the beginning of wisdom.

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook and neglect.

Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself.

Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.

Wisdom lies in small acts ,smaller things and smallest awareness .

Simplicity and frugality in any and every thing is all uncommonly wisdom .

If you follow the crowd, you will likely get no further than the crowd. If you walk alone, you're likely to end up in a place, no one has ever been before. Being an achiever is not without its difficulties. The unfortunate thing about being ahead of your time is that when people finally realize you were right, they'll simply say it was obvious to everyone all along. You have two choices in life. You can dissolve into the main stream, or you can choose to become an achiever and be distinct. To be distinct, you must be different. To be different, you must strive to be what no else but you can be.
At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done,
then they hope it can be done, then they see it can be done — then it
is done and the whole world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.

A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his
work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body;
his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is
doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing.
To himself, he always appears to be doing both..
