Geniuses are those who surpass their limits in their current situation


There may be times when others seem enviable.  But others are others and you are you.  Rather than comparing every joy and sorrow to that of others, you should aim to surpass your limits in the situation you currently find yourself in .  Those who can accomplish this throughout life are victors, the true geniuses.

Important to decide clearly the arena of your mission in life.

The important thing is to decide clearly the arena of the mission to which you will commit your life.  The life of one who fails to decide this ultimately remains incomplete.

Let's walk the path of the four seasons


"If spring is symbolic of vibrant activity, then autumn is the season of the mind; and if summer is the time of impassioned celebration, then winter must be the season of training.  Thus I have chosen to walk a path through the four seasons of life so as to live with infinite value." 
[GT6, 28 Feb]

How wondrous that mother nature is teaching us, in such subtle ways, how to face life!

Regard your study as an enviable opportunity

"Never regard your study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal job and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs."

--By Einstein, In the Princeton freshman publication The Dink, 1933; quoted in Don Oberdorfer, Princeton: The First 250 Years (Princeton University Press, 1955), p. 127.

create or contribute something that benefit others -- lead a life of value

January 13

A life lived without purpose or value, the kind in which one doesn't know the reason why one was born, is joyless and lackluster. To just live, eat and die without any real sense of purpose surely represents a life pervaded by the world of Animality. On the other hand, to do, create or contribute something that benefits others, society and ourselves and to dedicate ourselves as long as we live up to that challenge--that is a life of true satisfaction, a life of value. It is a humanistic and lofty way to live.
