“The mediocre mind has no capacity for understanding. It is stuck somewhere near thirteen years in its mental age, or even below it. The person may be forty, fifty, seventy years old - that does not matter, that is the physical age. He has been growing old, but he has not been growing up. You should note the distinction. Growing old, every animal does. Growing up, only a few human beings manage.” ShouldYearsMindHumansMayPersonsDoeHas BeensMatterMotivationalAgeUnderstandingHuman BeingsAnimalGrowing UpGrowingCapacityNotesStuckManageFiftyDistinctionFortyMediocreSeventiesGrowing OldThirteenMediocre Minds Author:Rajneesh

“Turtles have always been my sigil, I suppose. When I was a kid, growing up in Bayonne, NJ, I lived in a federal housing project, and we were not allowed to have a dog or cats. The only pets I could have were turtles. So, I had an entire toy castle filled with dime-store turtles. I gave them all names, and since they were living in a toy castle, I decided they were all knights and kingsand I made up stories about how they killed each other and betrayed each other and fought for the kingdom. So, Game of Thrones, actually began with turtles. I decided later to recast it with actual human beings.” HumansMadeStoriesKidsGamesNamesHuman BeingsGrowing UpGrowingDogProjectsCatDecidedFilledStoresKingdomsPetToysThronesBetrayedHousingCastlesKnightsDimesTurtlesKids Growing UpMade Up Stories Author:George R.

“The point here is what makes human beings different from other creatures is our ability to use language. We can use words to express ourselves in very eloquent and complex ways.
