“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.” Khalil Gibran
If you sit by a river long enough eventually you'll see the body of your enemy float by.
I've probably butchered the quote but THIS is my mantra in corporate life: sometimes, doing nothing, is also an option and what you THINK is important today is irrelevant or minor tomorrow...
I try not to think about it, but whenever I have a traditional breakfast this quote sometimes comes to mind: "HAM AND EGGS: A day's work for a chicken; A lifetime commitment for a pig."
Maybe the best quote of all time: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. - Thomas Jefferson"
