Quote by Bhuwan Thapaliya

“It’s the same everywhere. If you wish to stay relevant, spend time in the local tea shops, where life’s true stories are shared, and the real pulse of society is quietly felt.”

“¿Vemos ahora las consecuencias del modo que hemos decidido concebir al éxito? Cuando lo personalizamos tan profundamente, omitimos ocasiones de elevar a otros a un peldaño superior. Hacemos las reglas que frustran los logros. Amortizamos a la gente antes de tiempo como fracasados. Sentimos demasiado respeto por los que tienen éxito y demasiado poco por los que no. Por encima de todo nos hemos vuelto demasiado pasivos. Pasamos por alto el papel tan grande que desempeñamos — y este "nosotros" significa la "sociedad"— a la hora de determinar quién lo consigue y quién no.”

“Yet man dies not whilst the world, at once his mother and his monument, remains. His name is lost, indeed, but the breath he breathed still stirs the pine-tops on the mountains, the sound of the words he spoke yet echoes on through space; the thoughts his brain gave birth to we have inherited to-day; his passions are our cause of life; the joys and sorrows that he knew are our familiar friends--the end from which he fled aghast will surely overtake us also! Truly the universe is full of ghosts, not sheeted churchyard spectres, but the inextinguishable elements of individual life, which having once been, can never die, though they blend and change, and change again for ever.”

“... Gen Z has a global perspective. Gen Z will graduate into a recession on account of the 2009 financial crisis and the global pandemic of 2020. These economic stressors will undermine this generation's ability to be independent and self-reliant. Gen Z were born into an era of increased gun violence, terrorism and war.”
