Quotations
Life
My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out.

nature, his brain, mind, heart, DNA and his own set of experiences. No eighth
element or reason influences him even a bit.

You can get all A's and still flunk life.

"The Second Coming"
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
-Deep Trivedi
