  • If you are always being misunderstood, there is still a chance -however small- that it is not you. You just may be a genius.

  • Nothing short of a mind-meld has enough bandwidth for fully understanding/empathy of others. Avoid judgment for as long as possible.

  • There is not a shortage of technology. There’s a shortage of courage, vision, awareness: a lot of human things

  • Respect is not something you are owed based on your age or position. You earn it in time with how you treat people.

  • Not knowing is both a blessing and a curse

  • A great teacher is someone who can teach you the same thing in many different ways
  • “Whenever you get confused, it means an old pattern is breaking and something new is happening” – Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

  • “The illiterates of 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn” – Alvin Toffler

  • “We have nothing if we don’t have our dreams” – The Astronaut Farmer

  • “If what you do has no soul, what’s the point” — Music & Lyrics

  • It’s funny how when you are very sick, being able to do even the simplest things turn into major milestones.

  • Traditions are just habits/addictions on a large scale if the initiators are gone and the original stories are lost. #TelephoneGame
