“Most people don't know how to listen because the major part of their attention is taken up by thinking. They pay more attention to that than to what the other person is saying, and none at all to what really matters: the Being of the other person underneath the words and the mind. Of course, you cannot feel someone else's Being except through your own. This is the beginning of the realization of oneness, which is love. At the deepest level of Being, you are one with all that is.” PeopleThinkingKnowsLoveFeelsMindPersonsMatterCoursesLevelsPayAttentionKnow HowTakenMajorsOnenessRealization Author:Eckhart Tolle
“Whatever efforts one may make, one must revert to the realization that religion is the real basis of morality; religion is the real and perceptible purpose within us, which alone, can turn aside our attention from things. ... The science of morality can no more teach human beings to be honest, in all the magnificence of this word, than geometry can teach one how to draw.” HumansMayRealPurposeTurnsHuman BeingsEffortAttentionTeachHonestMoralityDrawsBasesRealizationBeing HonestGeometryMagnificence Author:Madame de Stael
“A strong life force can be seen in physical vitality, courage, competent judgment, self-mastery, sexual vigor, and the realization of each person's unique talents and purpose in life.

“Investors should pay attention not only to whether but also to why current holdings are undervalued. It is critical to know why you have made an investment and to sell when the reason for owning it no longer applies. Look for investments with catalysts that may assist directly in the realization of underlying value. Give reference to companies having good managements with a personal financial stake in the business. Finally, diversify your holdings and hedge when it is financially attractive to do so.” KnowsGivingShouldLooksMayMadeReasonValuesPayAttentionCompanyManagementSellsInvestmentFinancialCurrentsCriticalRealizationPay AttentionAttractiveGood ManInvestorsStakesCatalystUndervaluedOwning It Author:Seth Klarman
