Lie

A 'lie' has a very powerful reproductive system.

To exist is to change.

I think it applies to me as well

The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.
- Nikola Tesla

QQ

No man remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself.
- Thomas Mann

The Secret of Life

Is not about the self. It is about the others.

Beyond

Every time I've followed the chain of reasoning down to the furthest I could, the last thing I explored, has been love and kindness; self-explained and completely satisfying

The Spirit never dies.

Could you Pause?

I never liked the fact about time. It flows and makes everything disappear into the unreachable past. I don't like it. I want things to stay. I want it to persist.

Things that exist in time, are never ultimate. They are to be overlaid by new events every moment. This illusion is unbreakable.

Definition

Reality is something we do not have control over. The all powerful, therefore, doesn't have a reality.

This Time

The problem is, it's too damn real.

For Example

Things you can not make bigger by stretching:
A Heart

Numbers

The concept of numbers would not exist, if there were no two things that are same, at any level.

Essence

What is the fundamental difference between information and energy?

QQ

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
- Hunter S. Thompson
Science is nothing but developed perception, interpreted intent, common sense rounded out and minutely articulated.
- George Santayana
CNN is one of the participants in the war. I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected president but refuses because he doesn't want to give up power.
- Arthur C. Clarke

Pride

Ugliest of prides are of those possessions, one has been bestowed upon, without much effort.

Principle of maximam doubt

If you could afford to doubt something, doubt it.

Living in Future

It's not only what happened, that shapes the mood; instead it is mostly about what is anticipated.

Questions are being satisfied, but, not with answers.

The Equation

In the totality of life, the essential problem is almost never, a lack of resources. It is lack of intelligent actions.
Lack of sensible decision in one sphere of life could lead to lack of resources in another sphere. And once resources get scantier, the problem becomes a little bit unsolvable, the amount by which the decision was off from the perfect one in the other sphere, to be exact.

Example:
You earn certain amount of money. To grow and live the happiest possible life with that income is a different proposition than increasing the rate at which you earn. To earn more is what I will call, the problem in the other domain with respect to optimal use of what you’ve got. Given a specific income level, there is a worse way, a better way and the best way to use it for achieving maximum happiness. It could be investing wisely, balancing your life-style with your income or many other techniques. The goal is always to increase total happiness. Investing wisely for example does not mean you put up so much for the future that the happiness you will be able to reap in future with the saved money is actually less than the sacrifice you are making today. There is always the best trade-off between different uses of money to achieve the greatest possible happiness. But the subtle point here is, the limit of this happiness is curved by your income level too and that is in a different domain of problem. The amount of money you have is a limiting factor set in the domain of using it wisely.
But if you follow carefully, the argument of lack of resources not being the problem applies to that ‘other domain’ too, and this goes recursively indefinitely. It is not true that you cannot earn more. Given a certain level of potential (intellectual, physical, or whatever it is), you can always find a way to earn the maximum that is possible. Again the limiting factor here is outside the domain, namely, potential, physical possessions for example. Reiterating the point, with the same potential it is possible to earn at different levels only though different levels of intelligence applied in making decisions.

Put in so nicely

"In the words of John Lennon: Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. At The Motley Fool, we firmly believe that saving for tomorrow is not about sacrificing today -- it simply requires striking the right life-money balance. So we'll end this lesson with your moment of Foolish Zen: Living rich and getting rich are not mutually exclusive"
