Again, Napoleon

"One of the main weaknesses of mankind is the average man's familiarity with the word "impossible." He knows all the rules which will NOT work. He knows all the things which CANNOT be done.

A great many years ago I purchased a fine dictionary. The first thing I did with it was to turn to the word "impossible," and neatly clip it out of the book. That would not be an unwise thing for everyone to do."

Beautiful words. Timely.  

I would gladly pay a billion dollars for the mindset which invaded my brain for the past three weeks.  It came quietly, bringing with it an extra pair of life's shock absorbers.  When you are at peace with yourself, everything can be viewed from a fair perspective, the other party's and yours.  That is why you understand the pain, confusion and heartache of one who sets out to destroy you.  The Zain principles of life make sense when one experiences certain things first.

Life in this, our fourthworld, has its own unique beauty and simplicity.  Paradoxically, I read an article the day before yesterday in the New Yorker titled "The joy of quiet" and it was a beautifully thought out piece. Sometimes, things are just what they are, no more, no less.
